Created by some Transportation Design students at the Instituto Europo di Design in Torino, Italy, this Prius concept vehicle mockup has been drawn up to scream "hybrid!" louder than the current iteration. There's no saying whether the guys at ToMoCo are paying attention to the scribblings of students on the other side of the Earth, but I wouldn't be all that surprised if they took on a similar mentality with next Prius...

I'm not too sure on the design of the car, to be honest. It looks nice, from the side... One of my favorite things about the Prius is how much space I've got in the thing.. That design doesn't look too comfortable.

I'm still trying to figure out what, exactly, about this design is supposed to scream, "hybrid!"

I think it's the "ON" button wheels.
But, I could be wrong.

And, um... ewwww.

Wasn't the study that purported that people who bought a Prius did so in order to make a "statement" to others also produced by the geniuses at CNW marketing? <_<

Part of the design is certainly appealing, but a little voice in my head kept asking: "are you SURE you know what is front, and what is back ?"

I'll chime in and say that I think that design looks great!

A car ahead of its time should look so futuristic.
