Yeah, I think this will be a great product. This along with the upcoming Sienna hybrid will keep Toyota as a hybrid leader and ahead of the competition. That of course and the 2 hybrid models the next Camry will get based on the info you heard .

Not bad, but I'm not crazy about the headlights. The ones on the regular Prius are much better and modern. These seem dated.
Yeah, if this breaks 40 mpg, that will be a big deal.

Yes, I think many Prius owners like the quirky shape but I think that is something that they have learned to love, along with getting 50something MPG as a result of that odd shape.
Just my .02.

First vehicle made for Coneheads. Looks as silly as any Disneyland car.

Yawn... How generic. Well I never expected it to be a looker anyway. Just hope its MPG rating will wow the green crowd like the current Prius. Definitely hope it's not the same old Camry Hybrid/HS250h powertrain. That will really suck. Bring on the next-gen HSD already!! Or at least upgrade the engine to use the Camry 2.5's, a much more efficient engine than the 2.4, to begin with.

that van looks really boring. and the interior spy pic shows a prius-like guages in the center deal.
but it will be practical i guess. going to need a bit more oomph than current prius though or it will be a slug.

No one is going to mistaken this for anything other than a Prius van. The styling is ho-hum to me. Nothing stylish and nothing really offensive. I'm curious about the dimensions. It might be hard to squeeze a third row in that sloping roof line.
