    Toyota techie guru, Chris Risdon, talks about the third generation Prius and its new features, including the instrument panel and an all-new touch tracer display system. And he talks about his inner Captain Kirk - you go, Chris.

    Doesn't really get into explaining the Hybrid System Indicator, eh?

    From the factory? no. Not even the Energy Monitor or Consumption Screen is on the large MFD.

    I don't know if this has appeared so far, but it was in Nikkei BP the other day.

    I can translate two things from the navi screen:
    On the upper left corner: "Eco Drive"
    On the lower right corner, next to a teacher face: "Advice"
    Maybe when pressing this buttom, a teacher will appear on screen to give you some advice like, "don't push the accelerator that hard!" or "slow down, you must think with the green nature!", and things like this? :D

    I can say we didn't see any evidence of the MFD having any eco information, but the rest looks similar w/ the exception of the language ;-)

    Interesting...

    In the 1 min interval screen, the little green car represents 30wh while it is 50wh in the 5 mins inverval screen.

    You guys forgot the most important thing: This Prius seems to be getting 32.6km/l which is over 75mpg! I am a bit disappointed that it maxes out at only 43km/l though!

    I don't believe we get the extra screen in the nav with the Consumption Screen and "advice" button
