    :D, Prius would NEVER get away with this special OEM paint job. C & D praises it!

    Yeah but considering the badges on both cars are at the top of the trailing edge of the hood, that's pretty impressive, even if one car has a flat, horizontal hood (FR-S) and the other (Prius) has a sloping hood.

    Obviously it's not going to have the centre of gravity of a sports cars (You can butt out a cigarette on the road from the front seats of an FR-S. True fact - the designer, who I assume smokes, mentioned that fact in an interview). In the Prius, you sit higher than that but it's noticeably lower than the Gen 2 or 3.

    I must admit the Gen IV looks great from behind in blue. I saw a pic somewhere. All other colors it doesn't look as good. Maybe a higher end model with 17" wheels in blue would look nice.. man and I just got my 2015 too..

    Keep your 2015 for at least a year then :p Let's see what the Gen IV is made of, it's hard to make a product perfect (notice how many slight variations of the Gen III there were, bug fixes, recalls, etc...)

    whole point of TNGA - new platform, is lower point of gravity... thats all they talk about... of course, it will be higher than FRS but i think it should be substantially lower than any other non-sport toyota made today.
