The launch in Australia is taking place on the 29th May. So far there is no indication of the various packages or the prices.
same time as Canada then. Well, we never announced a date, it's just that's roughly when the dealers in Western Canada will get them. Eastern Canada gets them a week later (approx. transit time to the east coast via rail)

From information we have in the Prius Club of Queensland (from sources within Toyota Australia), the launch of the new Prius in Australia is not until July. We would love to see it sooner if possible, though. I have seen the details of the Australian model specifications. Our top model (I-Tech) gets pretty well everything on the US option list as standard except for the lane keep assist. Hope our pricing stays similar to the current model as well.
D+P.. probably means driver and passenger?? 15" is good because that means you get the LED headlights and the solar panel moonroof.
