ABS button....means ABS be turned off?
So... I was looking at this picture, and it appears that the button on the left is traction control on/off, and the button on the right is labeled ABS... So does that mean we will be able to turn ABS on and off...? |

I think the real question that should be asked from this is....will traction control be standard or optional?
Please GOD let it be optional... |

Aren't those buttons a lie in most cars?
I seem to remember a car my friend was driving for fun. Said he turned off the Traction Control, but everytime he tried to get a little spin happy, it would automatically kick on anyways. |

I wouldn't lose much sleep over what the prototype interior has in it.
To anyone here who thinks the production car ends up with an interior even remotely similar to the prototype, I have some nice swamp property I'd like to sell you. Special price. |

Defeatable ABS... Isn't ABS required by law to be on?

You are definitly right, those buttons will usually just reduce the safety threshold but not completly defeat the system. I have a feeling by the time the lawyers at Toyota get their hands on this car those buttons will disappear I can't imagine a car being sold with a button to turn of ABS, sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen
