    Very nice :)
    I happened to stumble across it earlier.
    I've been searching "Prius" on YouTube for the past month or two on a daily basis, and sorting search results by "newest first."

    Cool vid!

    Prius IV - Winter Gray / Dark Gray - solar sunroof

    :) Finally! It showed up late last night sometime after the dealership had already closed. Then, like clockwork, I receive a call at 9:05 this morning to let me know it is there and being cleaned for me!

    It's a IV with the sunroof & navigation, Winter Gray Metallic paint, dark gray interior, remote start, carpet mat set, and the door sill enhancements.

    I went straight from the dealership and had the windows tinted.
    They are 30% on the front doors, and 20% on the rest.
    I only put about 60-70 miles on it today, but those were 60-70 very enjoyable miles. I brought the manuals inside and plan to look them over tonight. I suspect that it will take a while to really settle in and get comfortable and used to driving this thing.

    So far, I love it and have no regrets.
    In regards to the seat comfort (which I've seen debate about recently), I find the seats to be more comfortable, supportive, and cushier than I remember them being when I originally testdrove a Gen III.

    I love how responsive the brakes are... and the sound of the regenerative braking!
    My parents road along to go out to eat. They rode in the back and kept commenting on how much roomier it seemed than their '07 they had a little while back.

    With a little tweaking, I was pleasantly surprised at the stereo's sound quality. For a stock system, it ain't bad at all... very decent bass. I love the fact that there are 6x9's in the front doors! (can't wait to custom build a sub enclosure!!)

    I think it will take me a little bit to figure out what all the different screens are and what's being represented on the HSI screens. (for example - the different trips, how to reset them, which MPG is showing the overall vs. trip MPG, and whatever else. It's all still pretty new to me, but I'm a fast learner.)


    One question: The door sill enhancements don't illuminate!! :mad:
    Are there two types of door sill enhancements?? I was expecting to get the illuminated door sills...and these don't seem to illuminate.
    Maybe I'm not doing something right... (even though I have no idea what that "thing" could be)
    They do look cool and stylish, but I was really looking forward to the glowing Prius logo and emblem... :(

    I know my salesman pretty well, so hopefully he will rectify this situation. I'm sure it wasn't conscious deception of any kind.
    I'm just wondering if there are indeed two types of door sill enhancements, or for whatever reason, I wasn't given the illuminated ones. :(

    Anyway... here are a bunch of pics I took today. I brought the girlfriend along. She was also looking forward to checking out the Prius! However, as you can tell in one of the photos, I think she started to get a little impatient with my gawking and picture taking. ;)

    ps - I ordered some HID lights from MobileHID.com and plan to have them installed sometime this week or next. At that time, I'll take a bunch of pics of those too!

    pps - If anyone cares, mine came with the Yokohama whatever model tires.

    Does it say on the window sticker it has the illuminated door sills? It's an optional equipment.

    I have the window sticker in the car and I will check it soon, and also take a few pics.
    If anyone whose car came with illuminated sill enhancements,
    does it say "illuminated enhancements" or just "enhancements" on your window sticker?

    Re: Prius IV - Winter Gray / Dark Gray - solar sunroof

    Looking at the one photo showing your door sills, you have the standard black plastic ones. The illuminated sills are silver with "Prius" and the HSD symbol cut in to them. The blue LED's light up behind these cutouts.

    Better talk to your dealer if you paid for the illuminated ones to be fitted.

    I am about to go take better pictures.
    The ones I have are silver, I'm guessing aluminum.
    They just don't say Prius and have the HSD symbol, and they don't illuminate. Pictures coming shortly...

    My door sticker just says "door sill enhancements."
    The thing is, I wanted the illuminated ones and those are the only ones displayed on Toyota.com and in the Prius brochure.

    I do like these a lot, I think they may even have a cleaner/classier look than the illuminated ones... but I do still want those, that I was under the impression I was getting.

    Where were these sills listed? On the actual car sticker or a dealer add-on sticker?
    Just doesn't appear to be Prius specific - no logo can be seen. How much was the charge for them?
    They look nice but I can see why you want the Prius lighted sills.

    Here's a picture of my new '10 Prius IV with Solar, Nav, remote AC. She's Winter Gray with Misty Gray interior. I got the windows tinted as well.
