IT stIll does not look good. I put the insight and prius next to eachother, and they look the same.... Almost.

pixiedixie862 · 10-24-2008, 10:26 PM

never liked the prius... but this doesnt look as bad as the this years model. I still wouldnt buy it.

And like someone said, the prius and the insight almost look exactly alike. I think one of them is photoshopped.

Bailout may have already mentioned it.....it's that optimum shape you want a car to be for best aero. I'm sure all the manufacturers have come to this shape already (mathematically and trial and error), they just never ran with it, because it's not aesthetically pleasing as the more conventional shapes.

Anyone notice the headlights being different on the first two photos?

One of them has to be a fake although "confirmed real by Toyota." The second almost looks Mazda3'ish.

Unless one of the headlights is supposed to be longer than the other and it also seems that in the first pic, there's a small bommerang like what Nissan is doing to all of the newer models to come (Maxima first and now the upcoming Z redesign).

tuckevalastin · 10-25-2008, 06:50 PM

there are also spy shots of the car in testing that seem to match the leaked photos which makes it even less likely they are faked... we will know for sure in Detroit in January I guess

Sabretooth · 10-26-2008, 12:47 AM

Regardless, I still think that Hybrids are overpriced and overdone. An Aygo or a Yaris with a turbodiesel would get about the same MPG that a Prius would reach here in the states. At a fraction of the cost.

Remember that a Prius is noteably good for about 45mpg, nothing huge of a number. Better than the past, but obtainable even with a petrol only engine.

The Chevy volt looks nice.

slothman86 · 10-27-2008, 09:55 AM

I would like to see the tails!

Nigal · 10-28-2008, 06:51 AM

Hybrids are rediculous IMHO. All that extra money for a car that gets less mileage than a diesel. Well there is the "looking down on everyone else for killing the planet" factor.

Bob_VT · 10-28-2008, 08:56 PM

Check out this Prius that was used as a Work-truck and hauled a dryer with the hatch closed.

Nigal · 11-11-2008, 11:47 AM

Rumors are they are also bring out a Prius coupe. Still over priced for what ya get IMHO.

tuckevalastin · 12-28-2008, 11:10 PM
