    Both have Modellista body kits. The top one has 18" rims and the bottom one has 17" rims (if you're looking for ideas for rim design).

    Also, Toyota Japan has an accessory PDF

    You know, I've looked at so many photos I've gotten used to the front end. It's not so bad anymore.

    The back end however, I don't think I'll ever get used to that.

    It's a body kit accessory add-on. Modellista and TRD have different styling kits. It's not a particular model or trim level - just accessories.

    So if/when the front end of the '17 Prius Prime gets damaged on the model we have now, we can just buy the new model's parts to replace the broken parts(when it's released)? Interchangeable perhaps?

    I suppose if you wanted to take the opportunity to change the design of your car, you could.

    I think it looks better than the liftback, both front and back. Not much though.
