    I agree, speedy, that is a nice looking car. I like the front better than the current Prius.

    Why would Toyota apply for a patent for a car model? Seems like they would be spilling the beans on future car designs.

    The face of that car looks happy but not "LOL" like the Mazda3. I do not know. It looks a bit... 70-ish (reminds me of the Lagonda for some reason)

    I like how it appears to have cameras for side view mirrors. It's that kind of technology I'd love to see in our future hybrid vehicles. We've been seeing it for years now on concepts, but let's begin to actually bring this type of stuff to production on cars for true techies.

    The front looks like a Karman Ghia and the rear quarter reminds me of the original Mustang prototype/concept. I really liked the look of the Mustang prototype, which was much different than the first production Mustang. All I learned from that experience is not to count on the concept ever making production.
