The exterior looks better in the darker colors.  On the inside, I like the center stack, but I'm not sure could stand to look at that dashboard for any period of time.  That expanse of plastic right in front of the steering wheel would drive me nuts.

Was watching this video and noticed the beeping sound inside the car when reversing. Looks like the sound can be changed if the dealer has the necessary equipment. Toyota, WTF???

The car might be equipped with Intelligent Park Assist.  (one of those radar parking dealios...Beeps faster as you get closer to objects)

Even the base one beeps in reverse, can be changed at the dealers
I think you can get a canoe rack for it
