At first I didn't like them, but I kept looking at pictures to see if anything changed, and then slowly it started growing on me, it has more of a "sporty" feel to it. feels slightly less bubbly and factory made. While the lack of cubby space is rather lame, they did include two trays at the top of the glove box to set things, which are.....ok i guess. The Mono wiper is much better one large and one and the tiny one the second gen had. No more wiper line on the drivers side! it also covers MUCH more of the windshield, and doesn't leave the occasional water splash when the wiper goes to it's natural position, like the second gen could in some rain.

We've been getting some rain here... and I think the "cyclops" wiper works great. It has a parrallelogram arm that alters the wipers aspect while in its arc and quite effectively clears the windshield.

It sure has a big ass rubber blade on it!

Good to know that you and Matti and Mr. Miles feel the same way Absolutely Red 12 does about the mono wiper (liking it/feeling that it does a good job of clearing rain from the windshield). I wonder, is that 'big ass rubber blade' (great description) only available at Toyota dealers, or has a cheaper aftermarket version emerged?

I just wish they could have left the dash the same and had offered a dark, solid colored seat. The latter could be corrected by an aftermarket seat, but I believe some airbag functionality would be lost.
