But in "normalizing" it, they've made it just another Toyota sedan. Beyond the hybrid aspect, people used to gravitate towards the Prius for its looks, questionable as they may have been. It's no longer a statement piece.
I don't see what there is here to sway someone away from a Corolla or Camry hybrid, which aren't bad-looking cars either.

with all the praise and shock here, it's like toyota read CL to see what they needed to do.

This is why the Prius needs to do more to stand out, when even within its own brand it's struggling to find its place as Toyota rolls out more product. Toyota is banking on this Prius being an "emotional" product, but to who?

Interior is still pretty unique, just higher quality and not so weird.
It slots between Corolla and Camry, both in size and quality, as well as having some good engine options.
Also phev battery seems small for 13.3kwh, i wonder if this was meant to be on of their first E3 vehicles where they can produce BEV and gasoline models on the same line.

This is smart to evolve the Prius. They have even expanded the powertrain now. I have never cared for the Prius styling, but this looks very stylish. Interior is great too. this will be very successful

The Prius is receiving global praise everywhere, even Ralph Gilles dedicated a post to it! Hopefully this translates to increased sales. Never seen this much hype or praise from the media in general for the Prius, from Reddit to Instagram to car blogs and forums.
I think it's completely fine that it looks more normal, because it still has the Prius wedge shape and actually stands out compared to a Corolla/Camry Hybrid IMHO. If the current hype translates into sales, Toyota will have another huge winner on their hands.

Except Full Battery EV's drive better, are funner, have exponentially more power, are more efficient and require very little maint. I like the way the new Prius looks and applaud Toyota for making it look better, but I still wouldn't buy it. Good try though

Will wait for reviews but first impression is visibility is seriously compromised. Worse, the instrument panel juts upward of the dash further blocking view. No rear door handles.
