    I really like how Toyota made subtle changes to the regular Prius badges without going overboard. Just figured out while cleaning the car that they also modified the HSD badge on the trunk:

    Just a random 'kudos' instead of a complaint thread ;)

    Yep, have had the car for a little over a month, and keep finding little surprises like these :)

    It took about a week after owning my first Prius that the HSD emblem is a stylized H, S and D.

    I feel better now. :D
    When I got my first Prius, I washed it one weekend and when I got to the back, I took a good look at the emblem and realized the notch on the top and bottom made it look like an H. As soon as I saw that, I then saw the S and D.

    I had a girlfriend that drove a Saturn and never knew that this was the planet Saturn and its rings.
