I think it looks way better than the last one with all that cardboard on it! I'd say keep it like this, it's cooler :p
Seriously now, they focused on making the hybrid work with the first Prius, can't they invest part of the profit in getting a decent design for the new one!?

Wait a second, is it me, or has the front end been ripped off an Auris/Corolla? The rest looks the same as the current one.

Dynamite the car. I think it would look better exploding then driving. Bloody hell, why don't they make hybrid cars look good so people will have an incentive to go hybrid.
Cheers!

The majority of hybrid cars do not have the kammback shape of the Prius, so I'm not quite sure what you're even complaining about. Go buy a Civic, Camry, Altima, Mariner, or Escape hybrid if you care so much about looks that you're willing to sacrifice aerodynamics and therefore efficiency.

"Go buy a Civic, Camry, Altima, Mariner, or Escape hybrid if you care so much about looks that you're willing to sacrifice aerodynamics and therefore efficiency."
There are more ways than this design to make cars aerodymanic and efficient. I am not a fan of the Civic or Camry. Altima and Mariner I will pass on, same with the Escape. Again, I restate my original comment and opinion. Nothing wrong in asking for more choices when it comes to hybrids mate.
Cheers!

Snark, if the Prius ditched the electric motors/batteries the weight savings alone would give the car the same mileage it currently gets. And since it's lighter it would also handle better. Electric hybrids in small already efficient cars = the biggest most useless marketing skam in the automotive world.

This revealed new Prius should put an end to the remarks by others who insist that the upcoming Honda hybrid model, also a kammback design, is actually the next generation Prius!!! The Honda certainly has different design cues - door handles, C-pillar, horizontal tail lights and headlights, etc.

what's all the bitchin' about this design and the car? granted, it's not for everyone...but a lot of people do like it. so move on to your next topic and critique the hell out of it. well, it looks like it's always the same people who are good for nothing but bitch, bitch, bitch...

it looks like it is going to keep it ugly rear end so i guess it is still going to be one of the ugliest cars on the market...

When it becomes as efficient and practical as a Diesel I might consider it. As said above this car is one big marketing con.
Anyone remember when Jeremy Clarkson was going to call the Top Gear dog 'Prius' because he ate & drank a lot more than anyone expected? :)
What did happen to Top Gear dog I wonder?...

Why is Diesel so much more expenses than petrol in the USA? Coz a good Diesel like a VW Golf Tdi or similar is more economical than a Prius and you don't have all those nasty batteries to dispose of at the end of its life.
