They went to the Camry dent registry, ran an algorithm to determine the most common spot for these, and that's where they placed expensive, oversized tail lights. That you probably have to work your way to from the front bumper to replace.

Interesting design - and highly polarizing (the new norm for Toyota, it would seem). I personally wouldn't go for it. It seems to be trying waaaaay too hard to be different/futuristic in the front/rear.

As I mentioned in other threads, Toyota is really hit or miss with me and their latest styling (same with Honda). The only current Toyota/Scion auto designs I like are the Yaris & Camry - and even those look a bit strange/weak in their lower trim levels, with skinny/tall tires, downgraded equipment, etc.

I think the new Prius is an improvement aesthetically speaking, but it's not gorgeous by any means. But the Prius has always been homely. Anybody seen the new Lexus RX? OMG.....that thing is horrid.

The front and rear design looks too busy to me.
Since Toyota is still on their "gaping mouth" grill design, I may have preferred that on the new Prius. Maybe something like this for the front face...
