Title: Toyota Prius Facelift
Post by: 2o6 on November 28, 2018, 12:56:31 PM
A little less weird. Most notable is the e4WD that's been available on JDM cars since 2015, and is actually similar to the "AWD" systems on all Toyota Hybrids.

Adding AWD will probably gain them a few buyers in CO, at least.

Because there's no evidence of snow on the tires?

Looks better. But so does a gruesome scrotal injury after a week.

Yes, and in the second picture the blue car is clearly parked in the untouched snowbank, with the plowed roadway far to the left.

They don't use real snow for promotional shots, its melts too quickly and often looks crusty, not floofy.

That's cocaine.

A Prius is the perfect commuter car whose sales numbers were ruined because of the terminal ugliness of the 2016 model.
The restyle will boost sales.

I love how the press photos show the new Prius in its natural environment.  :facepalm:  :lol:
