The new 2010 Toyota Prius.  This is what is supposed to debut in January at the Detroit Auto Show.  It will have a slightly larger displacement but is supposed to keep the same fuel economy numbers.  So why does it still have a handicapped electric motor?  Is it to allow all those companies that will fill your trunk with lead acid batteries to grow their business?  Yeah right.  Let’s stick to the exterior visuals for now, but wouldn’t it be nice if it were just an electric car, or hybrid just meant that it had an emergency internal combustion engine just for those rare occasions you accidentally run out of battery juice?

Well it still looks pretty pathetic, but at least the lines fall in with the Toyota look.  I guess they’re trying to make it look more aggressive and attractive?  Too bad it looks like a corolla.  Why can’t it look more like a Supra or the Lexas LF-A prototype?  Well what ever happened to the Honda Insight?  I liked that little thing.  It got better gas mileage than the Prius anyway!  I’m sure they’re fetching a pretty penny on ebay or craigslist.
