Personally I don't see what the big deal is. It comes pretty well loaded, save the cruise (which I never use anyway) in the US.<br><br>The only thing is I wish they got RID of the spoiler.

While the spoiler may not appeal to you, in the case of Prius it has a very real function to cleanse the air flow in the rear of the vehicle.<br>I've stated in earlier postings to this club, I was very surprised to learn over a year ago that the chief engineer had decided to add the spoiler. We demanded alot of rationale to justify the action. It does reduce the coefficient of drag CD to .29 which is slippier than our Celica. But what it delivers in a tangible sense is an additional 2-3 mpgs on the highway test. So it has function as opposed to being ornamental. PM

Interesting fact. The new Mercedes C-Class has an drag coefficient of only .26 and they didn't need a spoiler! The Toyota engineers must be slipping! ;)
