first pictures of the new 2009 prius

denbo13 · 12-09-2006, 03:16 AM

the uk sun newspaper has the first pictures of the new 2009 prius here's the link. .

http://www.thesun.co.uk/article/0,,2003090...6560753,00.html. .

the prius is towards the end of the page (check out the green paintwork)
theres also the new honda which looks a lot like the prius mkII.

Edited the year to be 2009 since it would be the 2009 MY Prius, but would come out in late 2008. Didn't want there to be any confusion that the next gen Prius would be coming out in late 07.

Article doesn't say that much, but the picture speaks volumes!

Where can I place my order?

Pretty cool. Should be interesting to see what the final production looks like. I really like the look of that Honda.

I do too. Very much like the Prius, but more angular or something. I can't agree with this quote from the article about the Honda: feels like driving a car from a Hollywood science fiction movie. I feel like that every day I get in my Prius to go somewhere.

Yeah, the Honda does really look like they copied the shape and lines of a Prius and did a little tweaking -- to beautiful effect, mind you. But as it's a hydrogen fuel cell prototype, I can't think of it being the least worry to Toyota at this point.

Very interesting - I've got some feelers out to verify the picture and to see if there is anymore information available out there for the 09 Prius.

Hmm... I like the '05-'07 shape better than the '08 one.

Me too. I'm not prejudiced, of course.
