Just wanted to know if the interior of the Prius has changed for 2006.

Headed into town this evening.  I was going about 3 mph in the curve where I
previously tested my VSC.  Road had about 4" of snow over ice.  Slowly slid

Prius.  Now that it's Winter in Ohio I can barely get 42.  I realize

I'm getting an '06 White Prius this week! I'd appreciate any advice for a
new owner. Thanks

Will the 2006 Prius be the last Prius built?

a call from the dealer telling me the HK package isn't available in our
region. That's a bummer because I really want the HID lights, but I'm
not willing to pay an additional $1900 for the Navigation package ...

Hi happy owners of Toyota Prius,
I have one question - is it possible to fit three child seats on the
back seat of Prius? Doesn't have to be ISO-FIX, but I need that
information to decide if I want to buy one. Local dealers doesn't have
