Someone over at PriusChat dropped images of what appears to be the next generation Prius or at least a really fantastic photochop of what the new Prius mule looks like.

lolwut is that like an equivalent of SAU but with Toyota Prius?

*PROJECTILE VOMIT!!!*

I'm sorry. That happens sometimes, like when I willingly click on a link that takes me to a picture of a Prius.

eehh...

looks kinda the same as the current ones...

Plain & boring Camry style.

a VW golf deisel produces less carbon dioxoide than the so called "green prius" in city driving and highway driving...

Prius = Fail

and the people who buy then = fail for getting sucked into the hype and not doing thier research properly

think about it your going to buy the prius for its economy and environment benefits, not its looks or performance..... and it doesnt even do that properly

My GF leases one through work and Prius is a great car. We easily get 1000 KMs to a full tank. It drinks next to nothing in local streets and has fairly good go if you push it. The petrol kicks in when you want it to (rev high).

The looks of the car grow on you... it looked average to me but now that has changed and I dont mind it at all.

Speaking of looks, Id never be caught driving a Nissan Micra... now that is ugly.

I drive prius's (or is it Priui?) as we have a couple at the office and if I need to head out I take one of those. they are ok. very quiet and about the same as any other pezzy little econo-box. and the gadgety display is fun and trying to keep it to electric power in the city is fun too. but come on, fairly good go? I'm sorry mate but they are as slow as a wet week. our clapped out 15 year old daihatsu applause 1.5l manual goes harder than a brand new prius and believe me that is not very hard. not too sure on this high rev thing either? they sounds like they'll self destruct over about 5,000rpm. my FD RX7, yes high revs goes good. 34 GTR, yes high revs goes good. prius? no. 8,000+ is high revs. 4,500 and ka-blammo is not high revs!

if you care about fuel economy sure they are ok at that. but don't have any illusion about them being fun or sporty to drive. they are rubbish to drive and slow. and if I really wanted an eco weener machine I'd got for a grey import honda insight.
