Looking at the Toyota brochure, I see that "High Solar Energy-Absorbing (HSEA) glass" is a standard feature, but looking at an actual vehicle it seems to not be tinted glass. In fact, Honda's competitive comparison notes that they have tinted glass whereas it is not available on the Prius. I have also read under other topics that the dash gets incredibly hot when the car is parked or driven in sunlight.
Does anybody have insight on this HSEA glass and whether it is effective and how it is supposed to work? I have not yet bought a Prius and I am a bit concerned, living in Texas, about sun shielding capability. 8)
