    They do look a lot alike. I wonder if it has anything to do with the coefficient drag.

    Well if the Honda looks anything like they are suggesting, it looks great. The front is definitely better looking than the Prius in my opinion, and I love my Prius. Have to wait to see what the Gen III Prius truly looks like.

    Difference #2: The Toyota Prius is very noticeable from the rear because of its squarer clear taillights housing red LED lights. The engineers from Honda have focused on a more angular look for their clear taillights with red LED lights.

    Well, I guess they are smart to emulate a success story. And the quality of Honda cars are very high. The cost is thousands less, so it could be huge hit, IMO.
