Prius Plug In gets a facelift.... In Japan

The grill looks awesome

 

I would be more impressed if there were vanes to close off as much as possible to minimize high-speed drag and accelerate warm-up in cold weather.

Let's be realistic
If Someone forgets to open them, when they need to and it overheats Toyota gets sued for damages and, their lawyers say we told you so, unless there is automated system I don't see that happening

 

There are automated systems. The efficiency trims of the Focus and Cruze have them. I'm not sure if they close off to speed warm up, but that's just a change in programing.

 

I think Japan and European PiP's came with regular Prius rims and hubcaps. So to them these rims are all new.

I have to say, that color scheme is awful. To be honest, I think the grey accents on the door handles grill and trunk garnish are terrible as well. I would rather have a solid color Prius.

 

Just needs the finishing touch, the fins.

 

i do like the lighted badges.

 

Unfortunately,I don't think that's allowed in the USA.

 

really? aren't some membres here doing the same mods?

 

Doesn't make it legal. I can tell you that riding around with with a blue dot tailight lens on the back of a motorcycle in NJ will get you a ticket.

 

with all the weird factory tail lights, it's hard to believe. but i do.

 

Count me out. Two tone is nasty. I like the chrome accent on the grill though.

 

CMax also has active grill shutters.

 

In the motorcycle world, we call this BNG: Bold New Graphics

 

That grille is very close to the one on the Prius"v."

 

I'm looking forward to the 2015 Prius Redesign, not small cosmetic changes like this.
