Friends: 9 | Re: Who is this and what are they doing to that perfectly fine Prius?! I dunno, but they are doing it to 2, there's one in the background as well. Both have the solar roof... Edit, I had a guess but got rid of it cause I felt stupid saying it but saw DeadPhish said the same thing! lol So yeah, 2 of the first US PHEV vehicles getting ready for testing..

Friends: 2 | Re: Who is this and what are they doing to that perfectly fine Prius?! Because you like to tease and lead on others, it's a no-brainer obv..  A 2010 Prius is being retrofitted to install a PHEV option for one of the new 'mules' to be tested in the US. /speculation |

Friends: 2 | Re: Who is this and what are they doing to that perfectly fine Prius?! Someone just have too much money to spend on a Prius, a complete custom repaint job. All the trim panels are removed to paint the inside panel to cover up the original color. A PHEV conversion does not require this kind of strip down. |
