FR-S styled after Prius?
 
compare

noticed this when i saw a Prius today, both cars have a oddly waved hood to accent the front logo, also both have the turn signals down low in the styled bumper slots.

correct me if I'm wrong..though toyota designed both..so not surprising really.

I think its probably just because of Toyota's overall design language. There are certain elements they use across cars to help you know at first glance it is a Toyota (or GM, or Ferrari, or whatever).

It's like how mazdas have that weird grin now. Toyota seem to have lines radiating from the logo.

I get what you're saying, but I don't see it.

Doh! You're right!

Maybe they should have named it the Prius-S, or even better, the AT version could be the PA-S and the MT version could be the PM-S....

Ugh never mind.

Again with the tires? They aren't standard Prius tires!
