2010 Toyota Prius Hybrid official leaked images
October 17, 2008 by George Skentzos
Update: These images have been confirmed as genuine by Jon F. Thompson, Editor of Toyota’s Open Road blog.
Alleged official images of the new 2010 Toyota Prius Hybrid have been leaked onto the web, clearly showing its new appearance as well as interior.
Whilst in the past these type of images have been defunct as works of talented amateur designers, the subtle flaws in these particular images suggest they may be the real deal.
Their quality and perspective indicates these images were likely taken from a composite video showcasing the new model, presumably never intended for public viewing – not anytime soon at least.
Its appearance is far less ‘futuristic’ than the previous Prius, boasting a far more conventional design assimilating with the rest of Toyota’s fleet.
The official unveiling of the new 2010 Toyota Prius is scheduled to take place at the Detroit Auto Show in January 2009.
Some have been quick to point out that the headlights don’t seem to match, however that could just be the perspective. What are your opinions? Real or fake?

“Anywho I’d rather a Volt than this new Prius.”
- Id rather wait till the real world test happens.
Joober, at the moment (and a risk of being mderated right of the net) all you are going to hear from the media about Ford Aust is job losses and Market downturn and everything bad that can be printed.
Notice that when GM said they’d lay of 1500 next year, it was a news flash and it dissapeared. Ford are making their decissions in stages as they figure out who they need and who they don’t, so it will always be frontline. But no there are NO fresh ones today, and the ones mentioned over the last week are all by the end of NEXT YEAR! I don’t know but there a saying about truth and a good story??? Something about not standing in the way. At the end of the day I would expect around 2000 to be shed by 2010. Sad but needed.
Doesn’t the Volt have a fantasy battery system?? I.E Based on a battery, thats not really available for practical mass production? Also, isn’t the range on the Volt only 145km?? Which means i wouldn’t be able to travel from home to work, and visit the shops all on a single recharge!! Pure battery power is impractically for Australian distances… Who knows how well the battery will work under Australian temperatures!!
The the front hood looks like a yaris’s one and aurion’s rims weird.
The interior plastics look borrowed from a decades-old taxi.
Hopefully this is just a mock-up/pre-production prototype.
damn ive always hated the doorhandles and they have been carried over
Might be a Prius/yaris cut and shut?LOL
That thing is sooooooo boring looking. It would have to get 200+ MPG to get me into one. The current one looks more modern.
GM: 566 million shares at $6.40 = $3.62 billion USD market capitalisation.
Ford: 2.66 billion shares at $2.27 = $5.13 billion USD market capitalisation.
Toyota: 1.57 billion shares at $67.18 = $105.5 billion USD market capitilisation.
All figures taken from finance . google . com
This means that Toyota is worth slightly more than 12 times Ford and GM combined.
Ouch.
Retards whining thats that some cars are boring, are boring them selfs!!
Yet another Boring old slush box from the same old Boring Car manufacturer. TOYOTA. So they gave it a face lift and added even more plastic in its interior, WOW step back. LOL
RoFlmaTiC, it doesn’t matter if Toyota is Worth more than 100 x GM, + FORD + VW (vw is currently the third biggest car manufacturer behind GM). IT will ALWAYS be a BORING A55, SH*tty car manufacturer that develops nothing but, pure FUGLY, boxes with 4 Wheels.
Now 2 Hybrid cars that are worth buying are the: (GOOGLE THESE 2 CARS)
CHEVROLET TAHOE HYBRID (6.0L V8 hyrbid) just to annoy Environmentalist by saying ur driving a HYBRID lol.
and FISKER HYBRID Cause it at least looks good while it saves the World, and im pretty sure its faster than this Piece of SH*t toyota thats shown above.
now if Environmentalist are really keen on saving the world and reducing emissions, then they might seriously consider buying a Scooter or a Motorbike. Because a 125 cc Motorbike produces Half as much emmisions as a Prius & spends half as much petrol. Not to mention most importantly they are quicker than a Prius too.
Now if u(OR Environmentalist) want a Bike that is Almost EXACTly as economical as a Prius, First it will cost less than half as much, still use 4.4L/100KM, & finally and most importantly get from 0 – 100KM, in 3.3 sec (or under 3.5 sec) & a top speed of over 280KM. (look for for 600cc, & 650 cc bikes)
LOL Now theirs something worth saving the world for, not to mention u can actually have fun doing it (at 280KM) LMAO.
OR then their is those diesel’s. & even this very site showed that diesel are more economical, & provide Less c02 then Hybrids
The only thing I hate about this is Prius looks like a Honda.
Anti-spam word = faster…what prius drivers say when they hit a freeway on-ramp…..still waiting
Who gives a rats arskyourmother about share prices etc. Its about the product and toyota make THE MOST boring cars in the world today. Bring back the days of the 5th gen celica (T180 series) the GT-Four was one toyota i actually lusted after.
I put in those share statistics to correct some of the spew that emanated from Team Vodafone above.
I actually agree that Toyota is making bland cars these days; I can say that if I was in the market for a new car then there’s nothing in the Toyota line up that I would consider. I would love for them to be making celica gt4’s, supras, mr2’s, soarers etc, even some of the sporty levin/trueno corolla models. However, they are going to be filling this void soon enough.
Falcodore you’re right, it is about the product, and Toyota have products that appeal to the masses. You can criticise them for that, but I don’t think they care. Their strategy has brought them consistent profits and sales growth, which is more that can be said for certain other manufacturers.
This car is the real thing its just the light,under white light it looks like a prius,under blue light it looks like a camry,under red light it looks like a yaris,and in the sunlight it looks like a piece of crap.
RoFlmaTiC, geeeeeezzzz you know so much about the share market it kills me, that sort of thinking saying a company is more competitve because stock price is higher, well then you truly are brainwashed just like your other fake Toymota mates…..
Also, Toymota struggle to win any decent race or championship, F1 for instance >>>>> oh and now non exsistant DINGOS beloved Nascar result write ups about Toymota, wont even come close to winning the championship bwahahahahahhehehehehehe, I hope this sewing maching company goes broke trying, being the biggest bunch of fake cheats in motorport leaves a very bad taste in your mouth………..
TOYMOTA SELLS TO THE AGEING CARDIGAN WEARING MASSES…. MOST BORING CAR MANUFACTURER ON THE PLANET, FULL STOP………………
Team Vodaphone, thats exactly what market capitalisation means. I’m not professing to be an expert in the share market but I know the basics, unlike yourself.
Just looking at their share history, haha in 2000 GM’s value peaked at 53 billion. This week, 3.6 billion.
Ford was up at 96 billion in Jan of 1999. This week, 5.1 billion.
Yet you’re telling me that Toyota is less competitive? That’s fine, you’re entitled to your unsubstantiated opinion.
I’m only stating the facts.
Regarding formula one, well at least Toyota is competing?
I guess GM and Ford have bigger priorities to focus on, such as staying in business. Though the outlook isn’t great… 2 of Fords directors resigned from their board only yesterday.
i work for toyota and thats not a 2010 prius.
and for you people that think there is nothing to talk about when it comes to toyota, go drive a new avalon or a 5.7 tundra. and look up d.vvt-i.
