    There are tons:

    Availability: Now - Still don't have mine!
    The improved 2016 models for the current-generation Prius are much better than what was had before, but still lack in handling characteristics, ride quality, and noise abatement when compared to other compacts. - It's a midsize, not a compact.
    The 2017 Toyota Prius Prime comes in two trim levels: Premium and Advanced. - And Plus.
    ...two electric motors driving the car in front-wheel drive through a continuously variable transmission (CVT). - I hate this description. The motors and the PSD are the CVT.
    including public charging stations with SAE or CHADEMO standard plugs. - CHAdeMO only in Japan.
    Sadly, the 2017 Prius Prime doesn’t have a better ride or handling quality than its standard Prius brother, which is also not very good on the road. Noise and vibration is high and wind noise is especially annoying in the Prime. - This is the quietest and smoothest car I've driven in the compact or midsize class - much better than any of the rentals I've had.

    That site is just quoting other places (like CNET) and also links to an Engadget video at the bottom.
