since i was around prius chat for a while - obviously pictures posted are speculation.
All Toyota European dealers attended Toyota European dealer conference in London earlier in 2008.

They actually had new Prius on the stand there, as well as many other new/upcoming European models (i think it was 13 models in 13 months) that we wont see for a year at least. They didnt get any tech info on the prius, but they said it looked "something like that" rendering - ie slightly bigger, more upscale/expensive looking, everyone liked it. Star of the show was new Avensis, this is Europe afterall.....

Thats the ones we know about so far. Only Toyota models, Lexus dealers go to different conference I guess :-).

They said Avensis looks amazing, especially Wagon version. It was actually star of the show, people got up and clapped. Same people who think current Avensis is boring and old peoples car thought new one looked great, sporty...

1.33 engine and Valvematic were the stars of the tech side of the show.
