Friends: 2 |  The freshened Prius will get a new front fascia, including a new grille design which appears to take after the corporate grille design seen on the Camry and the Yaris. The prototype's headlights have also been radically reshaped, ditching the current car's elongated lights.The old lights nearly reached back to the Prius' A-pillars, but the new lights are smaller, angular clusters set wide on the front-end. The result is a much more mainstream styling treatment. The bumper-mounted air-intake also looks to have been reshaped, but the heavy white tape obscures the true extent of the changes... http://jalopnik.com/cars/spy-photos/first-...rius-299305.php |

Friends: 2 | Actually, looks like they put some white tape over the front end. And a pretty ugly job of it too. Wonder what the deal was... |

Friends: 1 | Damn.. And I was hoping that the 2009 Prius would look like the one in the Popular Mechanics spy report http://www.popularmechanics.com/automotive...rs/4212545.html That looked NICE. On the other hand, the Jalopnik photos looks like the same GenII carbody with token cosmetic front-end changes.. Doesn't look much different than my 07..  |

Friends: 0 | If that white test vehicle is the new Prius, then Toyota has really taken two steps backward... The euro style Prius that we saw back in March looks much better. Keith  |
