    Ummmm . . . . . maybe because the aero tech has been similar since at least 7 or 8 years ago?

    All I want is a new tall roof, Prius V type of Prius, and instead Toyota gives me this... a squashed Prius! They get lower with each generation. Next will be as low as a Countach! :LOL:

    okay, no problem. just set me up with a crane next to where I park so I can get in and out! Oh, I know. Maybe they can design a lift chair driver seat that slides in and out of the car! Or How about making gull-wing doors - with a lift mechanism. The door opens and it lifts me out of the seat. get in and the door closes and lowers me in.

    I'd rather they just bring over the Corolla wagon.

    Doubt that you will ever see that happen. Toyota alone gets to figure out what different model will overcompete with another.

    Probably more likely than a new Prius v though.

    Move to Europe. Or get a crossover/SUV/Truck. Because this is what you get in the USA. You are not allowed to have a normal car anymore. Only 20mpg (if you are lucky - more 10mpg in real life) boxes.

    Even the Hummer EV gets "1 highway, 0 city" (if you get the reference).

    Out of Spec did a 70mph range test and it achieved 1.4kWh/mi.

    Funny thing this Lamborghini comparison. First thing I thought as well. Even sent similar comparison pics to friends. This new design is surprising and a quantum step away from the silliness of recent Toyota design exercises. Efficient and well executed aero has always been a thing of beauty to me.

    Chop the cat out of the Prius and they'll sound about the same too!

    Come up with a lift kit for the new 5G ! Toyota won’t give us a Prius wagon. Hybrid RAV4, Venza, even the alphanumeric bZ4X is what they sell for cargo utility/efficiency
