Clearly the previous designers were banned form the prius design room, LOL! Looks great! I thought the spy shots were photo-shopped, but am pleasantly surprised!

Ralph Gilles is no slouch, design director for the Chrysler 300, president CEO of SRT brand when it was around, led design team for gen 5 viper. Races vipers, a true enthusiast. Means a lot when he compliments a design.

No one is debating that about the Prius. Not sure why you need to bring up BEV in clearly a hybrid or PHEV car thread.

First thing I thought when I saw it, imagine if Toyota made the new Prius all electric. Grand slam.

I wasn't debating anyone, I was only countering her comment. I was also praising the new design. And thank you mom for telling me what I can bring up and can't bring up

This is not only far and away the best looking Prius ever, it might be the best looking vehicle Toyota makes right now, period.

I must be the only one, door stopper shape is not that great especially from the side. Sure it's a gargantuan improvement over the previous generation.
