    In puke green! Timeless design. Always deliberating between that, and the Nissan Juke

    It will handle with little roll, be faster than the current Gen III, get better mileage, range, be more luxurious, and comes with an available Autocross package for racing. Tow rating has been increased to 2,000 pounds, tow hitch hidden and standard. Prices will start $800 lower than the current generation Prius, with far more equipment.

    One test reviewer was heard stating

    "This is an incredible car. While out on the test track, we lapped a new BMW 3 series twice. The real dal-maker in this new Gen 4 Prius is that the more you drive, the more you corner, the more battery power you have. The Big Secret is that the new Prius is a KINETIC CAR!!!! Toyota knew that once people were aware of that fact, they'd want to turn hard in corners, and turn often. So the new Gen 4 achieved a record .95 G's in our cornering test, and the new specially-made Recaro buckets made it feel like a drive down the street."

    Or is it just a red car with a reflection from the brake light?

    Here's the image with everything blown out.

    I think you missed the Tardis feature for carrying very large loads

    I'm not seeing a brake light across the spoiler on the Silver car on the plane. I see the white brake light lens in middle, but don't see a light extending from the curved brake lights on each side, just Silver spoiler.

    Shame that the rear brake light bar is a hoax

    Yes, like some pickups with the LED light across the back end.

    That's perfectly acceptable. After all, you can claim you're only a Civic Driver ;)

    If they actually offered some of that, I could forgive some of their silly attempts at styling. Heck, give me a rear cargo light for Fred Flinstone's sake!
