The new toyota design language is clearly going to be like the BZ4X or crown or whatever was shown during that EV reveal wiith the upraked lobster claw headlight design (which is also curiously used on the new Ferarri Purosangue)

Dont know if i like the tailight design (Not a fan of the Crown's rear...but it looks worse in the two tone colouring scheme). Its kind of reminding me of the BMW rear end where it looks like they're taking an SUV focused design and trying to use it on sedans and such...it looks awful on the BMW 4 series gran coupe.

The shape doesnt look all that much different than the past prius....but it seems to be a bit more of a sharper wedgy shape. Does look pretty slick.

Kind of makes me wonder what the role of the Prius is now that Camry and Corolla both have full hybrid options. That makes the Prius redundant if its just going to be the same but more efficient. They could use it as a testbed for new EV or hybrid tech though, like say be the first use of Solid State Batteries.

under the radar fact, the Prius C got a second gen in Japan and it uses new-for-vehicle-use battery tech called Bipolar Nickel-hydrogen. Its kind of an evolution of Nickel Metal Hydride. on a regular NiMH battery individual NiMH cells comprises of a collector, the electrolyte mix and another collector. And multiple cells make up the battery.
In the bipolar battery, the cells would actually share a common collector with another cell. This reduces material use, reduces size and increases density.

Looks like a kia

It may come with 181hp and awd again. I don't mind it.

Cool Prius - Said Nobody

It is kind of neat (as far as these things go) if it turns out to be as smooth as the renders predict. I've not been a fan of all the odd, near random looking aero creases on recent models. Not that I'll be buying one regardless.

Daewoo, that's who!

For a good time look up the Daewoo Leganza completely failing the NHTS frontal crash test on YouTube.
Drove one as a rental in Saint Maartin once.

spike021 · 10-23-2022, 05:05 PM

I don't mind the front. Rear is a bit too out there for me. But then again the Kia EV6 has kinda grown on me as far as odd, against the norm rear-ends go.

spike021 · 10-23-2022, 05:05 PM

Also I didn't realize the thread was semi-bumped because of a bot. Rip me.
