I cant believe Im actually saying this but that looks pretty good...

It looks pretty good, which probably means Akio didn't have a helping hand when it came to the exterior design lol. The current gen is just plain awful. CEOs really need to leave car design to car designers.

came into this thread to verify the typical prius ugliness.

really doesn't look too bad...

Kirk K was previewing the upcoming powetrains, and it looks like there will be a 2.0L hybrid version with a bit north of 200hp/230tq..... If it keeps the typical Prius lightness, that could be a decently mild hatchback....

1500w inverter can be used with the engine off, like some Ford F-150

190hp+ for 2.0 Prius
220hp+ for Prius Prime
0-100km/h 6.7s

Looks like a tesla nice

Definite Tesla vibes.

Its a step in the right direction. It looks closer to current Corolla models. I’m shocked to say it myself: it does look pretty good.

Definite Tesla vibes.

The difference is the new Prius looks good. ?
Anything that resembles an egg will have tesla vibes but Prius did take on the egg shape first.

Watch, Toyota will increase the price $5k, across the board.

If they're able to keep the pricing closer to current Prius, I think this would make an excellent daily.

I don't think it looks like a Tesla, I actually think it looks better. Real buttons on the interior and accent lighting? Way nicer than the austere Tesla interiors

I like how there's a thread about the new Prius on this forum but no thread about the new Impreza ?.
