2016 Toyota Prius- Now even uglier then before!

[alonsof1fan91]

I just realized I compared the old Prius with the e-tron. Guess Ill have to wait until Toyota updates their website.

@unit-one

Is there still a difference between hybrid and plugin hybrid with the new Prius generation?

Probably because anything that sold inside the production country almost always priced lower than the others?

Im not so sure about that, somehow german cars tend to be cheaper in the US.

I don't know. By the way, the old normal Prius and Plug-In version are not on the list anymore. They were there last year, but I don't remember the prices. Just the Plus version and the new one are on the list now.

From what I've heard there isn't a plug-in version of the new Prius yet.

Saw one last night in downtown San Francisco. It's even more hideous in person.

Sorry to bump the thread but I have to say one thing: I 100% agree with what @Eunos_Cosmo said.

I can't help...

But to agree with what you guys said. It looks even more uglier and quite awkward looking when I have saw it in person. Especially that front end.

It just got released in this region for the first time ever earlier in the morning. Sorry but for around $26255, I rather have the toyota 86 corolla or something else for around the same price.

Of course you would - you're a young car enthusiast with no family. Two completely different ends of the spectrum.

If I or anyone else had a family, I or they would have bought a Rav4, Camry...etc instead since it's cheaper. Unless the fuel is very expensive (the fuel price over here actually raised up by %60 recently but still) or the Prius were sold for cheaper price then I won't buy one.

The super super fast one...like in the comercials

Well it can't be worse than the standard model. I wonder if they purposely made the Plug-in/EV variant (which is what this is likely to be) more aesthetically pleasing just to justify the price premium

 

[titleguy1]

I don't know why but all I see is "Toyota unveils Toyota Supra Prius"

Its the new version of hatchback Prius aka Prius C. Most likely.

Toyota has been trying way too hard to make the Prius look fun. Their commercials have truly gone off the deep end.

That's putting it lightly.

 

[Obelisk]

I think it's more self-depreciation than anything. It's possible Toyota knows the Prius is bad, and they're having a bit of fun with it by putting it into these ridiculous situations (Prius 4 pursuit commercial).

And to be honest, I actually like those brake lights.

That'd be stupid enough business idea that I really can't imagine Toyota doing so. They very likely thought that the new Prius would appeal to the general public, why else put it in production.

I wasn't being serious, I thought the laughing smiley gave it away.

Obviously a large automotive firm with a pioneering car know what they are doing, I wouldn't suggest pulling off such a controversial idea.

Turns out I wasn't wrong! Say hello to the Prius Prime, a Plug-In Hybrid version of the Prius IV.

That...is an interesting look. I can't tell if I like it or not.

The back is still a hot mess, but at least the detailing isn't so haphazard. Front is a dramatic improvement, and it looks a lot more like the Camry.

 

[PureAlpha1206]

I agree. They really need to do something with the rear. It looks hideous! The rest the car really isn't bad imo for what it is.

 

[RocZX]

And it has a Tesla inspired interior

 

[ToyGTone]

This is how the prius should have been in the first place! Looks a lot better than the current normal one.

 

[niky]

Whoever designed that rear roofline has never seen a real car.

It is still the most atrocious use of cheater panels I've ever seen. And that includes the dreck that's come out of China in the past decade.

 

[catamount39]

The front is miles better, back is still horrifying.

 

[Heldenzeit]

Still ugly, but far less offensive.

The standard car's taillights look really cool at night time actually. The darkness helps to hide the rest of the car too.

Imagine that.

 

[Bo]

The back is worse, the front is light years better. The window line and roof line is still frustrating to look at.

 

[Dan]

Is that a crease in the rear window?! Why would you do that?!
