224hp and 0-60 in 6.7 on the PHEV is pretty insane tbh. I **** with it.

I like the look of the single handle on the front door and the "hidden" one on the rear. Much better shape and look overall, should be a nice car for those that want them/normally drive them.

The question is, will the production models look like these? They say "prototype" cars in the article, so perhaps this isn't the finished product? It is very important to acknowledge they blacked out the windows, lowered the cars, and probably added bigger wheels and tires- all making these cars look extremely sporty and attractive. If they turn out to be this way for production, they are stunning cars. But be prepared for the rug to be pulled out, if they are indeed enhanced and not the final design.

It also amazes me how two-faced Toyota can be. Offering the hideous 4x4 Crown with an owl face and ape rear, then a few weeks later show this sleek, attractive Prius. They need to get their S together and work across the board.

Nice to see Toyota care about design again. One of the ugliest cars in automotive history, became one of the coolest looking in a single generation.

I think Toyota nailed this. More power and better styling is just what this car needed.
