    I really don't know why people complain about the 2016 design. I like it. In fact, 3 people in my neighborhood have bought one. One is black, the other metallic gray, the other white.

    Thx! More then half the people don't believe it's a Prius! I get a lot of people staring at it and they love the look. Not sure about the roof wrap yet....

    Sweet! I agree the Gen 4's are so futuristic looking in a very good way and they really do grown on you!

    Pls zero out a trip meter and report back after a nice Saturday afternoon drive on how your mpg's were affected with the new wheel setup..

    Not trying to sway you one way or the other but DO THE ROOF WRAP!!! (friendly suggestion) :sneaky::D You won't regret it! :cool:

    I decided that I will be picking up a new 2016 Prius on Monday... I am pretty sure I will be getting the Hypersonic three with black interior (All weather mats/cargo tray and preferred accessory package).. Granted I might change my mind and opt for thee other cheaper three (Sea glass / Harvest beige) or Eco (Hypersonic / Harvest beige) or possibly a three touring (Blue Crush / Black interior) once I get up there...

    Costco pricing I am being told is 1k under invoice plus either 2k rebate OR 0% for 72 months, they just raised the incentive for the last 2-3 days of the month and it's good thru Monday.. Not sure what to do, taking the 2k is a better deal initially by a couple hundred but its so nice not having a interest payment and seeing all money go towards principal, plus toyota financial is easy to work with..

    So far I am not losing many mpg's at all to be honest 1-3 mpg from what I can notice. 17" Toyo Versado Eco 215/45/17 are the best! I'm so glad I got back to 17's. The few mods I did make the car look soooo much better.

    The 17" Toyo Versado Eco 215/45/17 Rock! Only 1-3 mph loss and the few mods I did definitely make the car stand out.

    I really like those wheels. I'm going to have to put them on my short list.

    I can happily announce that after moving from 15" to 17" wheels and tires I'm still averaging 62mpg.

    It does look nice with the 17' does the Toyo tires make noise while driving?

    I was afraid to ask that.... :eek:

    (If a guy spends all that money on mods, I don't think he cares about noise.)

    I had tires that make more noise than other. Even now on my Gen 4 I can hear different noise. All depends on the road . My friend has a Lexus with 17" you don't hear anything inside.
