    Yes, that's exactly how the 2049 Prius will look like! :huh:

    I don't like any of the ones with the stubby, flat noses. I liked the Prius' sloped nose.

    So nix the first four. The Maroon #5 isn't bad. Turquoise #8 isn't bad either.

    The last 2 sets are pretty good, the others yak, back end to predominate

    Some of those designs, especially the first several, take me back to my cub scout days and pinewood derby cars.

    I'm fine with just about any of them - as long as we get real wheels. While we're redesigning, let's make some nice-looking aerodynamic alloys that don't need the PlaySchool plastic insert, 'K?

    Last one I like, couple in the middle look like an evolution of the current shape. Why do they always have to display rederings with 35% profile tyres?

    Just don't understand the sensitivity to the shape of the car. I would drive a car shaped like a turnip if it got 200 mpg.

    I like #1 (silver/blue), #5 (reddish brown/white.. although it looks like a PT Cruiser), #6 (silver/white/black), #9 (blue/white) and #10 (white/grey).

    If I had to pick one, #10 gets my vote. It has a stretched wheelbase but yet a beautiful design. Designing a car with a stretched wheelbase is hard (just take a look at the new Civic or the Chrysler Concorde/LHS/Dodge Intrepid).

    It looks sporty (perhaps a bit of FT-HS in there) and I love the wheel design (not too fancy on the blue colouring though).
