If it just had to look like another Toyota, why couldn't it have been this one?

Danny, at 2010 Heads-Up Display - PriusChat is that a real "heads-up" display or just the "dashboard" under the binnacle like the current generation?

i'd use the term "heads-up" for a display that projected onto the windshield and put the image right into the view out the "front window."

clarify?! thanks!

also looks like the buttons on the sides of the front bumpers/fenders are ultrasonic sensors. lane-change sensors? parking aids? very interesting. any on the back bumper? and are those FINALLY turn signal blinkers on the flanks just in front of the front doors??? FINALLY?!

i like the new headlights
only hoping for more horizontal headlight to give it a more agressive look
like the new insight

Maybe it's the Toyota Link or G-Book Alpha system? BMWs also have an SOS button (BMW Assist).

I don't like the headlights of G3P at all -- the Nike-like swish along the top does nothing for me except induce nausea. Is a picture of the uncovered rear posted anywhere? I hope they didn't screw that up as well (a la Acura TL).

+1,

So much for a mail car.

The rectangular grille and lower side lights remind me of the Nissan 350Z. You'd think that would be favourable comparison, but I didn't like those changes either - the 300 was quite attractive. Here's a before and after shot.

I sold my Prius a while back for a CTS. (As John McCain said on Letterman..."I screwed up"). I've been patiently waiting for this new model, and am not impressed, if this is really it. IMHO, the new Honda Insight looks incredible! I hope when it is officially unveiled, changes are made. If not I will go for the Insight. I think the current Gen II looks beter.

hm, i just had an idea - actual combination meter could be an 3D display, like on Yaris in Europe (just a lot more sophisticated). That might be why picture looks so weird.

I'm guessing photoshop/mirror image reversed of original japanese right hand drive with english overwrites.
