Well, the official tweet suggests that.

 

some of us don't do twits .... i mean, tweet.

In any event, the link by leejay makes it look like that rear seat Headroom is pretty much exclusive to trolls & Hobbits
.

 

What link?

I don't think this changed.

 

Looks the same to me. A car made for people who are no more than 5'-7" tall.

How about something different, Toyota???

(Yeah, yeah, I know. Stop all the gripes and go buy a RAV4 Hybrid, you big fat dummy! )

 

fixed

.

 

I have a friend who has one, and he's 6'7". I'm 5'6" and I fit in the back sitting on my daughter's booster seat.

 

6'-4", and 270 pounds, here. I fit in it great. After I'm actually in it. But nobody other than a small child will ever be able to sit behind me.

It's a pain getting in & out of my little Disneyland Car, but there's a lot to like about it.

 

With the driver's seat all the way back, I fit comfortably in the back seat.

 

Regarding our oft discussed Mazda CX-5, I think you'd really like the egress. that's one thing I definitely noticed: getting out I just kinda rocked forward and my feet were on the ground, neither high nor low. I'm six foot even, almost.

 

Good to know. And 5th gen, another 3 years?

 

They won't use that headline here - what's snow? Yes, they get it in a few odd places, but not a selling point.

Seriously - I suspect TOYOTA won't bother with a release here anyway.

Unless IONIQ sells well & scares them into doing something - it's been going to be released for the last few months - they advance the release date every month to the next month. We've been "promised" a concurrent release of Hybrid, PHEV & EV.

 

Ohh damn... Maybe we`ll get the e-four in scandinavia to now then. But that does look like the prime except It doesnt have the Prime spolier with the "bump" on it, it doesnt have the rear bumper lights of the prime either, but it also doesnt have the tailights of the Gen 4 pre face lift. Im really starting to wonder how much the normal prius will look like the prime now. It does not seem to have the tailights that goes across the taillgate like on the prime tho (which the "leaked" face lift design has), since u can see the GEN 4 brake light in the spoiler.

 

This (red dots) seemed to me more photoshop than snow, so I played with Gimp a little bit




IF it is a redesigned model, it doesn't seem to be that different:





detail of taillight:




maybe noise, maybe taillights:




we'll know in 2 weeks.

 

I got this answer from toyota, didnt reveal to much lol, or anything for that matter. They may have used the old prius in the pic, and covered it up with the "fake snow", the snow that covers the back has another shade and color when in negativ colors then the snow coming from the wheels and such... And it covers up the tailights perfectly... Im starting to think toyota knew people with decent photoshop skills could photoshop the snow away, so they used the old design in the pic to not reveal the new design.

 

The Prius styling could be changed and improved by just changing up the headlights and taillights. Would be nice to also see power-train updates such as launch gear CVT and dynamic force induction, though likely will be held til next gen.

 

No upgrades engine or drivetrain wise from what we have seen from leaks... Its just said to get the prime LED headlights and CHR taillights.

I really hope the GEN 5 gets the 2L 180hp engine as an option tho... Id love that lol.
