Below is the initial concept that previews what it will look like. Although it will have four doors, this may satisfy your your desire for a sporty coupe like design.

The Prius C. This is said to be even more efficient than the regular Prius! I'd buy this in a heartbeat!

I saw concept sketches posted of the Prius c concept and a 1:8 scale model at Toyota mega web last summer. The interior looks extremely cool, just the front and rear disgust me...the front reminds me of an evolved shape from the Nissan leaf car.

I doubt it would make it here as people aren't huge fans of wagon looking cars here than in Japan. In my humble opinion, getting a wagon just seems a waste, a few more bills and they can bump themselves up to a minovan or a a cheap full-size van.

Although I spent time driving a Toyota Raum there, I couldn't get use to the wagon looking cars there. :)
I'll take the type r crz over these haha

I think Americans would go for this car. In fact, if Toyota doesn't mess with this concept design too much, it will be my next car. Seriously. This doesn't look like any other wagon and kind of redefines the shape of a car. IMO, it looks great - far, far better than the ugly CRZ. And this will get way higher MPG than the CRZ. Also, for the record, I hate the Leaf's styling yet I love this car.

More pics...







Obviously, the interior will not look anything like this for production.
