    Judging by the number of cars with a vaguely human-ish 'face', it seems designers spend a great deal of time trying to make it a pretty one.

    Personally I like the old design, looks like the car is laughing.

    Guys, where is the lower trim spoiler? (On the bottom of the rear bumper?)

    Is the bumper different? Or just missing the bumper?

    the hood, fenders, and bumper are different to accomodate the different size headlights, i would guess since they are projector headlamps the housings cant be all that big


    whats up with the antenna in the front...


    i believe the gasoline engine has been significantly modified

    I am praying that the Popular Mechanics photo will come true. That car looks sweet, like a little Ferrari.

    Why change the Prius design radically? Porsche has been doing pretty good for the last 40 years with the 911 design. Modify slightly and update but complete redesign; Nah! keep it a Prius so we all know when we see one coming.

    It's been a while since the last time I spotted a masked Toyota driving south on I-275 and then exiting on M-14 to head to Ann Arbor where their design center is located. It wouldn't surprise me if an M plate showed up in Death Valley on many cars being tested there.
