We have two 2009s and wouldn't trade them for 2010s.

There are features of the 2010 that I prefer - bigger engine, better front seats, no serpentine belt. I didn't like the confined feeling I got from the intrusive center consol, though.

This is subjective but I like the looks of the 2009s better and get a kick out of the MFD display. So do my passengers, who always watch it with great interest whenever it's my turn to drive somewhere.

But the thing I liked the best about the 2009s was the discount Toyota offered for buying some of the last gen 2s before the gen 3s hit the shores. We saved $4,950 on the second one (bought just before the gen 3s arrived) and a little less on the first, bought several months earlier. It's hard to beat cold, hard cash savings.

"It's hard to beat cold, hard cash savings" Actually, getting exactly the car you want does beat cold hard cash savings.

I have not driven the 10 but sat in one a couple of times and was always struck how the front seats seemed to be perfect in that they had headrest supoport right where you needed it. You leaned back just a little on the 10 and the headrests were there unlike my 07 which has really no head support as the rests are so far back.
You have to make an effort to rest on them.
The 10 seats seemed to be really nice.

Weird I thought the headrest in my 09 is too far forward. Maybe there is a difference between 07 and 09?
