    This might give us a little more enlightenment. I like his reviews.

    The angled-spoked alloy wheels on the Prime look nicer in motion than the straight-spoked alloy wheels on the non-plug-in Prius.

    The only thing he's wrong about are the colors. The document he was working from included the color options available for the US, he just must have missed it(my eyes also skipped past it at least twice the first time I read it). No Mustard or Ash for us at all, and no blue for the Prime.

    There was a detailed one for the Gen 4 from the Tokyo Motor Show. It’s the one I’ve frequently referred to and have copied and pasted in this forum.

    Not sure if anyone caught that but the 194hp/196hp of the regular Prius requires premium fuel. It'll run on regular with reduced power.

    I wonder if the new Prius Prime battery uses g4 powertrain cable connections?

    Not sure. It should be running Atkinson if it's achieving 4.1L/100km. But you're right, it could possibly be running both, like on the last generation Lexus IS.
