Featured 2016 Gen 4 Prius Reveal Set for September 8th

Yeah...I don't think I could get used to the white trim. I almost didn't buy a car once because it had a white background speedometer. Having all that ugly Apple-like white all over the place is like a punch in the face.

 

Probably right. For me, I'd feel stupid paying what they want for the car, then having to apply wjat amounts to Black Out to cover the ugly face.

 

I have a 6%, a 7% and an 8.5% grade on my way home every day. I can easily saturate the battery at full green and then some. Then I'm into friction braking, which I try to avoid.

 

Wow, look at the upsweep on door top edges to blend with the dash,like the Prius c, but more.

Does anyone figure there are actually cupholders in front of the center console box?

 

There are.

 

Very stylish. Gen4 makes Gen2 look very bland.

 

In what photo did you see front cupholders? I don't see them amongst the white mass.

 

there's a pic in the other thread you posted in.

 

I give it a thumbs up for exterior looks. This is a look that will appeal to many more car shoppers. Black plastic rear side insert looks bad? Whuh? How important is that? Double crease near rear taillight? That's so 'bad'? Who is going to knock an owner for that?

3rd gen had that weird straight line from the windshield down to the hood, looking from rear quarter panel. That's gone. Nice break between the windshield and hood line in 4th gen (see photo looking forward from left rear quarterpanel).

looks like wireless phone charging tray just below shifter in white console tray.

The 17" wheels are pretty happening, The black star on top of lighter base wheel looks great.

They didn't go radically different in the front end styling like giving it a big guppy mouth grill. Smart move. It's a nice front end.

 

I hope they are not trying to color-coordinate in white the base of the steering wheel, shifter area and the console!

 

Ok. It looks extremely awesome. Will be interested to see the actual specs. If I had the money, I would consider trading in my 2010. Maybe I will win lotto. Dont get me wrong, I still like my 2010. But the new model looks really awesome.

 

Leaks are saying 150hp.

 

What about the curb weight???

Inquiring minds want to know.

 

I wonder if I could engine swap my Gen 3

 

Any specs, release date, ???

 

Well... that was boring.

 

That was the worst debut I've ever seen. No details, no specs, no MPG figures. I waited up past 12 a.m. for 5 minutes of an interview?

 

Post-Reveal "What Drives Us" Debrief Show
I hope the moderators know more than what we just saw.
That was a low blow. Bad form Toyota.
Maybe a translation problem in what "Reveal" means.

 

They revealed that they have no idea what they are doing there.
