    They had 6-7 minutes on the streaming Prius reveal last night and they didn't play this?

    Idiots.

    Really growing on me. Certain angles looks like a coupe. Other angles like a sedan. Side view looks sporty with the lines going upward toward the rear.

    Li-ion HV battery pack is under the rear seat like the Prius c. That leaves a lot of room for PHV pack under the hatch.

    Huh? They showed several dozen images inside, out and in action. Whadya want, a scientist with bow tie and lectern expounding upon the engineering details? :p

    Could you imagine the 3rd or 2nd gen Prius in that same video? I don't think they could have pulled it off. But this new one does :)

    The blond kinda sorta looked like a younger Laura Dern ..
    and what was the movie that had sideways landscapes .... argh forgot ..... ah! Inception.

    Did anyone catch the extension of the upper portion of red 'S curve' extending into the body at 0:27 in video? That curved light is both subtle and bold. I like it. Go Toyota. This is a direction I wanted Toyota to take the Prius in. :)
