Real or fake, the single thing that makes the image believable for me is the roof line. The current car comes to a peak over the driver's head and immediately starts tapering off toward the tail. The roof of the subject vehicle is flatter (which would be nice for rear passengers!) That effect could be 'shopped, but I think it would be very difficult to do it with a mask given that the rear door appears consistent with this new line.

Photoshopped by the Iranians?

After all, with their practice in missile photoshop-ing, they may plan to "photoshop" Israel off the map ...

Ya know, we'll probably all find out when the 2009s or 2010s come out.

One thing is for sure, if they wanted to create buzz, they couldn't have done a better job than by hiding the thing in plane sight. Someone is invariably bound to notice subtle differences and start a discussion like this.

Truth be told, the time for absolute secrecy is likely coming to an end, especially if it’s a '09. Similarly, the time for anticipatory buzz and other free publicity is here.

I'll reserve judgment on the appearance until it can be seen without the bandages. If those aren't bandages, well, someone needs to try and catch whoever whooped it with the ugly stick.

Now that I take a second look, I finally understand. It's the bastard child of a Prius and a Cadillac CTS! Poor thing probably ran away from home when it found out what its father is.

The door lines don't mesh together. The top of rear door is higher than front door.

let me re cap this for people. This is not to show off the look of a new car. it's a new car in a slapped on costume to cover the new bodywork underneath.

they are simply testing driving dynamics and such with the profile (may that be only frame work or a complete system under the hood)... as others have said regarding elevation testing, heat, snow, ice, etc... it's all done in real world.. with a real car... covered up.

it just looks like an 08 with cheesy flares, imho, i think the 10 is gonna have more structural changes, the underlying lines of this car look exactly like the 08

It's not 10, relax guys take a look, all the shape is the same as 2nd gen. just a lot of plastic on it. Looks like somebody decided to laugh at his Prius and made this mods.

Well when I first saw it yesterday I thought it looked like a current model with one of the Japanese body kits on it. The tail lamps are almost identical to the kitted car. Saw it on the original thread on the Volk Racing eco wheels.
