Notice this pic is inconsistent to the front 3/4 view. That's why it must be unofficial (at least one of them).

Why do you say that? I've looked at both of them and can't see what your talking about.

If you analyze the details (I put both picks together to help), it seems evident.

Aside from the different wheels, first look at the rear window in comparison to the rear door seem. Doesn't match up. And the rear roof frame is much thicker in the rear shot as the front/side shot. The side panels vary slightly in shape as well. The panel above the front fender seems to be different thicknesses and shapes.

You can tell the rear shot used the current Prius as a template (front and side details). The front 3/4 uses nothing from the Prius.

Seems like companies are jumping on this vehicle type ("mini-mini-vans"?).

Ford is bring the Grand C-Max for 2012 (based on the new Focus)...



Odd, because the Mazda 5 doesn't sell that well. Then again, not many Mazda's do.

Mazda 5 didn't sell because it's fugly, as is the Prius Alpha. I'll take the Ford, please (and I don't say THAT very often...)
