@Jimmy – Aye. The solar venting option is rather pricey … a Cool Cap will keep the heat from ever entering the car. I’ve seen it myself, first hand.

I was wondering what kind of air displacement capabilities the $3600 dollar solar venting system achieves. Is there any data available comparing inside temperatures of a car on a typical clear summer day with and without the option. It’s sounds great but it’s expensive and I doubt it achieves anything like the heat minimizing capabilities of the Cool Cap Heat Blocking Car Cover which is 1/100th of the cost.

My 2001 original Honda Insight still gets better gas mileage than that!

Many thanks for digging that out, Chuck!

As it turns out, USB is listed on toyota.com in both the more expensive audio package and in the Solar Roof package … but USB wasn’t listed on our test unit’s window sticker. Could they have hidden the port in the glovebox, by chance?

P.S. I think the iPod kit may now be available for the 2010 Prius – Chris Pirillo mentioned having iPod integration in his 2010 Prius

We own a 3rd Generation Prius after having owned both generation 1 and generation 2 models. It truly is remarkable that the Generation 3 Prius is larger than it’s predecessors and that it also gets better gas mileage. We’ve been very impressed with each of the Toyota Prius’ we’ve owned.
