    Where is the spare? And what happened to the space that used to be the storage tray above it?

    Same place as usual I believe. On levels with no spare they reconfigure things, add some styrofoam pieces, and lower the floor. No levels have the underfloor tray.

    I loath gen 4, just starting with the looks, and then there's the dash, not too thrilled with gen 5 either, especially here in Canada, with nothing but the 19" wheels

    If you want a Gen 4 look at one from Avis or Hertz. Every Prius I have even gotten from them has been base level with a spare. But then you are buying a rental car. But how much can you rag on a Prius?

    A 2020+ Prius base LE has a spare, parking assist, intelligent sonar, rear cross traffic alert, blind spot, and more, standard.
    It also has one of the cheapest tire sizes. It has to be one of the best thrifty person cars, just like always.
