It seems Toyota thinks its customers could do with some help when it comes to parking and have developed a car that uses electrically operated power steering and sensors that help guide the car when reversing into parking spaces. It doesn't come standard however and you have to cough up an extra £1,300 (US$2,000) for the option, but you'll save that money in no time on the improved fuel consumption. How does 35.5 km per liter of petrol grab you?
It's all in Japanese, but the Prius site has some stuff going on when you press the start button on the first page.
