Well the skis fit fine -- think I got 160s

Anyway, just as a a brief update to the OP, not much (anything?) has changed for 2013. My Prius doesn't have auto headlamps (although they do turn off when I shut off and lock the car) but it is painted in the Blizzard Pearl (which is an extra $395, not sure why Hertz got that

). It also has a cargo cover ^ MSRP is $25,390 with the paint. I hit 3k miles on it earlier today, so pretty new too.

Also came with the previous renter's invoice -- he definitely isn't a FT member with how much he paid!

Note to future renters of the Prius: don't go skiing with it if you need to drive *up* into the mountains... the Prius doesn't like doing that kind of thing.
