    Not a regular G3 Liftback. Wrong wheels, and wrong-side 'fuel' door, so it can only be a 2012-2015 PIP.

    Though my non-PIP does have those wheels as a second set, take-offs from someone else.

    PiP. Wheels give it away. Otherwise, it's the silver front bumper insert (as opposed to piano black)

    The Photos are NOT of the Prius Prime. They are the older Prius Plug-In. Is this Alternative Facts???

    The second article says that "It is expected that 2017 Toyota Prius will hit the U.S. market with the retail price of $27,985." This article was 3 days ago and it was already on the market. These reviews aren't good.

    It was accurate with properly formatted footnotes citing Playboy. (Geezer joke.)
