    I saw this on the news quickly, we're getting new licence plates in New South Wales and I could've sworn they were being unveiled on a Prius. All I could find on the net was this story with a photo, it is a Prius, right?

    Thanks Danny, I wonder if there was any relevance to the story, or if they just happened to use a Prius.

    I didn't know there was a 'Previa' in Australia... but I just looked it up and it exists. Can't say I've ever seen one. From what I saw on TV I dont think it was a van, though.

    I think it's a Prius, the front of the Previa has a bit of a sharp edge / point, the Prius doesn't have this, it's more rounded off.
    Furthermore, the area just above the license plate is a bit more horizontal on the Prius, just like it's on the Australian picture. :D
