Featured 2019 Prius restyling

I like it.

 

VW here I come.

 

i prefer the current one, sad to say.

 

I'm sad to say that too

 

You mean the current one, or your current one? I'm with you on the latter.

 

the current one. just saying i like it better than the new look in the link. hopefully, in 2022, they will remove some of the excess baggage and smith out the transition from the hood to the windshield profile.

 

It'd be nice to see some interior shots, or maybe not.

Just curious: is there some technical reason the beltline has to slope up, front-to-rear, at around 10~15 degrees?

 

you mean the bottom of the side windows?

i wish it was in english. are they both 2019 or is the yellow green the current model?

 

Yeah, to clarify:

I think only the grape colour is new, prototype?

 

thanks, that is a steep slope. don't know if it is styling, aero, something else, or a combination.

does it make it look faster?

maybe it reduces the similarity to gen 3 in the rear.

 

It's a little less due to perspective, but a good 10 degrees...., the rolling doorstop look.

 

an improvement from the rolling shoe?

 

There seems to be a compulsion on the part of the designers, to pinch everything into sharp pointy ends.

 

after a hundred years, they're running out of ideas. every time i see someone say, 'that's an attractive car', i feel like it is because it's just recycled from the past. and that's fine, but designers have to justify their existence. have you seen project runway?

 

Slanted beltlines with big back ends seem to be the current trend.

I like the new one. It has muted some of the stand outness of the current design. You can't expect much from a refresh.
