    Can't say much about the current body and interior design, but the mechanicals have improved.

    Given the 5th generation was originally scheduled for this year but has moved to 2025, I wonder when we will see the video for the 5th Gen?

    Are you sure? I thought it was model year 2023, arriving maybe fall of that year? I'm losing all hope... :cry:

    Gen4 is the only one to buy used but the gen3's features and build quality will continue to attract buyers who eventually show up here.

    Yes, I was counting on it in about 12 months time - which I haven't heard has changed.

    PRIUS 5 will be the "NEW" Hybrid - the basis of which all other hybrids will gradually move.

    Yes, I love The Car Care Nut....excellent Toyota Master Technician who knows his stuff. He rattles off technical information without any notes and I've never once seen him not know what a part was called....even rattles two or three different names for the same part sometimes....amazing memory!
    If you ever have a Toyota question, post it on one of his videos and he'll answer....he's answered mine 100% of the time...may take a week or so but he'll get to it. (He does knows other cars but only comments on Toyota but I did see him slip up one time and say that the Range Rovers are endless money pits but everybody who knows cars is well aware!)
