Could it be? Real or fake? You guys take a look and see what you think.

Where is the Pic From??
Hard to tell if its real or just a mod.

Looks real to me. Looks like it has a few added panels taped on to disguise some things. Typical of a new model that's getting some highway testing.

We see stuff like that all the time around Mt Evans in Colorado. They come there for high altitude testing.

Well it's not photoshopped I don't think, but who knows if it's a new model testing or mods or what. What we do know is that IT UGLY!

The picture is originally from a Flickr set - 2009/2010 Toyota Prius Spy Shot en Flickr: ¡Intercambio de fotos!

I'm not sure if I believe the photo or not... It is somewhat hard for me to believe that Toyota would allow a vehicle that they are trying to keep so closely guarded out into a busy area like that - it's a full parking lot, for Pete's sake.

I like the wheels, though. Looks like something off the Lexus GS line.

It could be real, because it seems that every new car is doing the "accented edge by door handles" design thing (see picture below).

But I thought it was going to be a bigger car? It looks a bit longer in the trunk area compared to that 2nd generation.

Assuming it's not an amazing photoshop, I think that could be the 10. Better if they got both in pic w/o dude in the way.

The silhouette just does not resemble the current at all

The door sills (tops of doors) seem to be a little higher than current which is a trend on some new models (see the 2009 Matrix)

It appears slightly larger overall to me.

I don't know of any other car on the road like that.

on list at 2 d'ships, targeting Early 2010 so as not to get first batch off the line.

I like the trunk with the tail lights, but it is hard to tell if it's photoshoped or not. it also looks like they kept all that white plastic prtectant material over the lights and paint.

Notic the changes in
- wheels
- tail lights
- rear bumper
- C-pillar
- door handle (taped up)
Overall, I think it has been "Camrized", and I don't mean that for a bad thing.

looks a bit smaller to me
not longer but wider
