Its a great car, but I dont know if its worth 30k. The cost of the car will not cover its increased efficency last I checked

I like the new Prius as long as it offers interior color other than GREY.

I definitely like the interior of the new prius but I prefer the Insight exterior more. With pricing like this my next car might be a hybrid

Have you seen Misty Grey? It's light grey (kinda like Alabaster) with contrasting door panel and centre console lid in fabric or leather.

Because it doesn't have a traditional transmission, the joystick will move back in its neutral position after you move it to drive or reverse. The park button is there to park the car.

I think every other car out there on the planet with a CVT still has a park setting that works just like any other transmission.

I kind of assumed the park button was for the park assist feature.

Cause it's not on the shifter. The shifter activates R, N, D and B. It still uses a parking prawl to 'lock' the transmission.

Threxx, the IPA button is located below the POWER button.
