Difference between 10 and 11 is $250 for base price. Not sure what option pricing will be. Also for 11 they added some color combination that were not available for 10.

As for options, the only option that you must order from factory is the adv tech pack. Rest you can add on after you've bought your car.

The following are OEM options available to 2010 Prius V. The first price is retail. The second Price is invoice. The Z# packages don't save you money. They cost the same as if you were to buy them separately.
