    Toyota has posted here on PriusChat 2 pieces of a new puzzle that will eventually reveal another (apparently interior) shot of the upcoming new Prius family member. They are going to post new pieces each day and it'll be up to the PriusChat community to put the pieces together. I've put the first 2 pieces together above, but be sure to keep track of the PriusChat forum thread below to view new pieces as they are posted each day. Newest Member of the Toyota Prius family Teaser #2 - PriusChat Forums From Toyota:
    Good morning Prius Chat, By now, most of you have seen the video from the 10th Anniversary Prius Celebration where we revealed the first official photo of the newest member of the Toyota Prius family. (Oh, and maybe you've seen a few dozen unauthorized shots of a car reported to have been the newest Toyota Prius family member, but that's another matter...) Anyway, although it's still probably not enough to tide you over until Detroit - and since we just really enjoy teasing you - starting today, we’re going to start releasing the second photo. "Releas-ing" is the right word because this photo will be in the form of another puzzle; however, for this puzzle, we’re going to need the help of the online Prius community. Each day, we’ll be posting puzzle pieces here on Priuschat.com and on ToyotaPriusProjects.com. It's up to all of you to do the assembly, however you see fit. Take the time, and we think you'll find some nice new information. And we'll make sure to save a little surprise for the final piece! The final image, once it's been assembled, will also be posted to our Toyota Prius Facebook page so be sure to become a fan to receive any updates. Enjoy! Doug & Erica Prius Marketing Toyota Motor Sales, USA ​

    I've always found Toyota's advertising "puzzling"...this just confirms it.

    Blech...sorry but this is like The McDonalds Monopoly game. Ya Know...just give me the damn Happy Meal...I don't really want to collect game pieces on a paper board. Just like I'm not too excited about getting "puzzle pieces" pictures of the next Prius. The Image is going to get leaked out anyway.

    So what can we tell today? It has a power button...and a radio knob...alright...I'm officially underwhelmed.

    They did. They cut the roofline but needed to make room for people like Hill so they added the head bubble on the roof. I'm impressed they even added a drag-reducing aerospike on the front end. They must expect this new Prius to be FAST!

    The screen would give away hints that it is a PHV?

    Using the two puzzle pieces provided so far, I've been able to extrapolate the entire vehicle.

    Notice the noise-maker on the roof to appease the blind and the rear-seat bubble for Hill. The extra-large LiON batteries are in the tail fin area.
