Also I like it enough to recommend it to my family and friends.

use the Prius as a DD and leave the IS for weekend/fun duty....you'll enjoy it more...this is what I do with the C6.

In black running on electricity, it would be stealth-like.

I like it as well. I was not so much of a fan of the last model, but I think this looks really good. My wife is seriously considering getting this. She was going to get the HS, but almost threw up. We will see next month when they arrive at dealerships.

The new Prius looks great with some minor mods
. Too bad you can't say the same about the Insight

It still looks like a clam shell to me. A modified clam shell, but a clam shell nonetheless. If you add wheels and a kit, can you still drive 50 mph in the carpool lane?

No, just because the Z came into dealerships first doesn't mean anything. I'm sure the Prius was already designed with these lights before the Z...
