New Toyota Prius Gets Caught in the Wild!
Looks like the little hybrid that could --the Toyota Prius -- is getting a bit of a face lift refresh before the next redesign.

The spy shooters at KGP snapped shots of this prototype doing some hot-weather testing in Death Valley sporting a much more new Camry-like and Yaris-like grille.

Long in the tooth? Come on... what happened to the days when Toyota would redesign their cars every other year? I am tired of this dumb design.

Dumb design?

The Prius has won numerous awards for groundbreaking design. Why did the BMW X6 win an award? The Prius should have won it. Stop hating you foolish German fanboys!

Its because they made people feel like they were ripped off. I would be mad if they changed my car every other year.

UNFORTUNATELY for Toyota and Lexus their "trendy" designs age quickly and people grow tired of them within just a couple years. They need to find the right balance.

Stop hating!!

Toyota is going to start a revolution with the new Prius. People will see how environmentally friendly these cars are and they'll dump their overpriced BMW 312i and go for something more powerful and clean like a Prius.

Honda designs are ugly and they steal from Toyota like almost all companies.

In fact, they should call it the Toyota Tooth.

I REALLY wished that change the Prius from a hatchback back into a sedan. I LOVED the first model. I remember being in awe during one of my Camry services when two Prius owners were in basking in stories about their new Prius'. Toyota, come on!!! Honda is doing well with the Civic Hybrid (in my opinion) and now Nissan with the Altima....c'mon Toyota...what 40+ years of history...they need to stay in the running!!!
