hopefully I'll be a Prius owner soon... I'm kind of torn between being able to pickup a 2011 Prius 5 with the AT package in 30 days or wait for the 2012 model in December (?). I do need the car now, but I can wait. I'm not too impress with the Entune system, though the updated HD-based navigation system is really nice. I also like the 2011 look better than the 2012 (for some reason 2012 front reminds me of a frog) and also parking assist is a nice to have in 2011. The 2012 will depreciate slower than a 2011, but I do plan on keeping it for 5+ years. Anything else I might be missing in the comparison? What would you do?
I'd go for the 8-way power seat in the 2012. New 7 inch higher resolution Nav screen (in addition to the HDD speed) is a definite improvement. Parking assist is worthless, IMHO.
Hmm...after talking to the dealer, it seems like I was allocated for a 2012 model and it will arrive in ~ 30 days. I thought it won't be out until December? Something is fishy...I'll keep everyone updated!
Well there's also the HUD, upgraded graphics on the 5" MID, ability to split the screen on the 7" touchscreen to show Hybrid Information as well as navigation screen and you get SofTex instead of leather and a 10-way power driver's seat.
