    I like having round analogue instruments - the Civic is more to my taste than the Prius
    Has anyone added round instruments from another Toyota to their Prius?

    I actually find the tach on the Prius not very interesting with all the other data available off the buss. Current to and from the battery and the voltage and some of the temps way more iteresting than rpm from an ICE that is more or less indirectly responsible for moving the car. MG2 rpm and for that matter MG1 rpm more informative than the ICE rpm.
    check out CAN-view as your driving a 2005.
