Hide your children folks, the Prius is not bland anymore, it’s trying to be scary. Just like you did at 15 when you got a leather jacket, the one with metal pieces sticking out. Oh, and they say it’s not just a bland nondescript teen underneath, it is also full of youthful enthusiasm! According to Green Car Reports:

The company has also suggested that the all-new Prius will be more rewarding to drive, perhaps with more road feel and tighter European roadholding and handling.

I will let you insert your own inappropriate joke here.

You saw some soft focused spy shots !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . And you thought, “Oh my, this does look like a Mirai family member. Ugh.”

Well these, published by !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , confirm what we all knew: more Mirai. Front and back.

I’d love to see these things in a wind tunnel. I bet that’d be pretty fascinating to see which bits are stylistic choices and which actually decrease drag.

It’s a lot to handle at first, but I’m warming to it quickly.

The real thing maintains 95% of this concept sketch, but irons out many of the awkward details. Still not pretty, but I think it will age well.

And I showed your images to my mom, a former Prius owner, and she had this to say: “It looks sleek and sexy. I always thought the Prius was a sexy car.”

However crazy her beliefs may be, she’s the Prous’ target audience, so I think Toyota has a winner on their hands.

In about 1 years time people are going to request an uber and get flustered when they can’t find a white Prius
