The general shape will likely be similar to the current Gen 2 Prius, but there will be differences for sure. I think the camo is throwing off some people. The general shape while similar looks sleeker and more aerodynamic than the current Gen 2. As for details, if you look closely the car is heavily camoflauged all around with cardboard. The sleeker shape though does look promising.

I believe you were trying to say "visually."
I don't mind the current Prius shape at all actually, so naturally this one is ok with me.

A Lambo is designed to stick to the road with its design, the Prius is designed to have the air go around it so that it doesn't get drag and can increase its fuel economy

LOL - I think you meant visually.

I'd date a Heidi Klum shaped Martha Stewart, but it ain't gonna happen either.

Well in that form it looks like a cereal box or something.
But I won't say anymore until it's 'revealed'.

Maybe because it's covered in cardboard camo and cladding all around?

Yup, which is why I can't comment anymore until all that garbage is torn off.

I agree. Defintiely a lot better than the previous rims BY FAR. I really like these simple 5 spoke designs. Note to manufacturers out there: Just because you build a hybrid does not mean you have to make your wheels look like UFOs.

I think it's a plastic wheel cover rather than alloy wheels.
Nonetheless, it's a nice design.

We can see the brakes, so its rims

suprised to see fairly large wheels and low profile tires on a prius. I would think that they'd use a smaller set to maximize mileage.
