I'd take that over a Matrix- more room, (looks like anyway) and more MPG's. It'd look ALOT better in a different color, IMO.

Looks like it is based on Toyota Wish...

Matrix is smaller car than this and gets 25/31... so Prius v is not only larger car, and has a lot more trunk (19 vs 38cu ft), but still gets more >40% better mpg.

Not bad at all! Better vehicle if you have kids. Not a fan of the dash though.

Prius c concept. Both vehicles are showing better proportions and detailing than Toyotas past.

i liked the idea behind c, looks like first card based on iQ concept (unlike Yaris)... so very long wheelbase and very short overhangs...

.... mike, where do you see pictures of interior of v?

spwolf

imho, very cool interior

Prius Vomit. Far from attractive IMO. Has absolutely no style. Interior looks plain and confusing at the same time. No thanks. Same Prius powertrain with more weight. Must be deadly slow. I do like the resin based panorama sunroof that cuts weight in half. Thats pretty cool.

As a total package, liking Ford C-Max a lot more.

Prius c is freakin awesome except for the nasty headlights. Looks just like that other Prius concept on the first page with some design improvements.

symmetrical dash...yet not really. its weird and cool at the same time.

any specs?

spwolf

34.3cuft for trunk, 38" of rear legroom... same powertrain as Prius. That is 1.8" more rear legroom room than Matrix and 15cuft more trunk.

Basically interior space very comparable to Rav4, and smaller overall dimensions with 50% better mpg.

The Prius C is basically a repainted FT-Ch from last year...

spwolf

i had hopes Yaris will use iQ-like space savings, but apparently it was probably too costly for that car that has to sell in high numbers everywhere.

This seems like iQ based, probably around 4m in size with interior space of Corolla... now thats what I would dig personally.

spwolf

this is one large car too... doesnt look like it in pictures, but it has wheelbase similar to camry and is 181" long.... 0-60 in 11.5s.

I like this past the weird front. I hope this is close to the production car. Since its smaller it will likely get more MPG too.

I like it.

It's practical and functional, with enough quirky character design to make it stand out.

It will sell like hotcakes.

It will surely clog California freeway fast lanes...

I'm really liking this strategy, this should increase Prius sales plenty.

I am impressed. That is a VERY SLEEK design for a Prius wagon. Also look how low to the ground it is! Also small wheel gap . The stock wheels also look nice, better than the stock Lexus CT wheels IMHO.

Overall I like the exterior, nice detailing and proportions, and the rear looks sharp. The design is clean yet sharp and modern without being busy or offensive.

Also fuel economy is impressive for its size, especially considering this still uses Ni-MH batteries. Once Toyota puts different batteries in there fuel economy should go WAY up.

Interior looks pretty good to me, seems like some of the plastics are a slight improvement.

Exactly this.

As you said, it's practical and functional while still looking quirky and unique. Best of all, it looks quirky and unique without looking strange and awkward.

The interior also looks quirky and different (without looking awkward) and retains practicality and functionality.
