Re: Rear wiper and 15 inch tires

The 04 Prius does have a rear wiper. One of the photos, taken from above, shows the wiper mounted by the spoiler. I don't know if it will be standard or not. Some of the information I read said that it is and some said it will be an option.
As to the 15 inch tires, the one at the auto show has them, but someone, on another Prius site, mentioned that they use them for show cars and the production Prius may have something different.
