For those of you who ordered and replaced the stock armrest -
1. My interior is ASH LEATHER - Does it come in ASH and is the cover leather or plastic?
2. Does it fit perfectly with the bottom portion of the console?
3. What is the part number?
Is a cargo liner available for the Hybrid? Will there be one in the future?

The sliding armrest does not have an extra compartment, it simply slides forward so it is more comfortable for most people. I like to rest my arm on the armrest and my palm on the shifter, and with the stock armrest I can barely keep my elbow on the armrest. 3" forward movement would make a huge difference. But I'm not willing to pay $200 for the armrest right now. Go check out a Camry XLE, that trim has the sliding armrest as standard equipment. Sooner or later, people will start wrecking their CamryXLE's, and once spare parts start to hit EBay, I'll buy one.
