Now you know. And it's not pretty. Souped-up Camaro, Charger and... Fiesta? - Toyota Prius C&A Custom Concept (5) - CNNMoney.com By a long shot uglier than all of the other cars that were pimped out.
I've never been into the Carbon Fiber look...and I'm REALLY thinking that it wouldn't fly on a Prius. Just a guess on my part....
I do not understand, nor do I like the enormous maw that seems to be the current trend. Jet engines .... I can understand. As much as I appreciate my G3 .... if it looked like that depicted ... I would be driving a Fusion Hybrid today.
Oh that's bad! Practically zero ground clearance with spirograph-like wheels. The Fiesta was the nicest looking of this whole bunch.
Toyota displayed it to us at the 10 year appreciation event up in Malibu just a few weeks ago. I posted it back then, along with several other shots. Here's a close up I took. If you want to see it better, click and zoom in: You can see it's right hand drive, by the guages. I really like the side view cameras that replace the mirrors. That's got to cut down on wind resistance. .
When seen in person, it looks really interesting. I certainly am not planning to run out and do this to my car, but I have to pay a huge amount of respect to the person who has the skill to do it.
Your comment reminded me of Dilbert this morning...the 1st 2 frames, not the part about doing your job. http://dilbert.com/dyn/str_strip/00.../00000/4000/500/104570/104570.strip.print.gif
Hey Guys, On the positive side - in winter, the front end would make a great snow shovel for your driveway. In summer, a mobile bug vacuum. Keith

Hi All, I like the concept of the wheels. Just make them the normal 15 size, and have the hole treatment extend all the way to the hub. The add-ons to the spoiler are interesting too The rest of it - hmm, well there are plenty of Lambo's around here, do not need to see any more cars looking like them. The hood reminds me of my Opel Manta. Need it in light blue metalic though....
I respect this thing like I do a Bomex body kit: who the hell thinks this remotely looks good? It reminds me of this: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/Rev-Angel-Exotic-Supercar-300-HP-V-8-Replica-Kit-NR-/170555747710?pt=US_Cars_Trucks&hash=item27b5ea2d7e#ht_500wt_1182
If this is what in-house C&A is capable of, Toyota should ditch 'em, and get TRD to do some aesthetically-pleasing, and performance-improving kits.
