I really really hate instrument gauges located in the center of the dash. Side profile looks practically the same. Not a fan of the front to be honest, but then again who buys a Prius for its looks?

I agree, it looks nearly the same too me and I don't like the center mounted gauges. Should be a great hybrid for those that don't mind or like that sort of thing though.

interior pic is seriously squashed and bad quality... we had spy pics from before which were also tiny but showed interior much better...

additionally, it seems that model shown has LED lights like LS600h, with exception of DRL which are halogen...

Way too similar to the current model.
But the front looks fresh.

Just noticed the headlights have that design similar to the new Maxima and 370Z (sort of).

I like it, for a Prius. Its fresh, but you can still tell that its a Prius. And I really feel bad for Honda. Everyone's gonna think that it is a Prius.

The interior is nice. I like the Volvo floating dash. A design element that I definitely think will become very popular in the coming years.

Stacked front bumper lights the Caddy STS seems very out of place.

Well, at least it looks a little better than the current one ...
I take that back, want to see the undisguised rear end first ...
