I work for Toyota and can tell you that, Yes that is the new Toyota Prius hybrid, it looks almost identical to whatever Honda hybrid that's coming up.

Wow, the post with the Honda manufacture plate had me convinced.
I would've thought it to be a Prius if you guys didn't show me the proof.
S2ki FTW!!!

Also Honda will re-use the Insight name as shown on left lane and a few other sights. Expect the price to under cut the prius by a few thousand dollars.

If that's truly the case, Toyota has every right to sue Honda. I would, if I were Toyota.

That is a Viper modified body on that car. Mercedes owns Dodge. They used a modified Viper body as a test mule just like the S2000 body Honda used on the NSX mule.
