Only 1 body style for next Prius
At least not for nowBy January of 2009, the world will finally know almost everything it needs to know about the next generation Toyota Prius. That's when Toyota will debut the Prius at the Detroit Auto Show. What we already know is that it will be longer, wider, quicker and more fuel efficient. And, we also now know that it will come only in one body style.
Overall, the new Toyota Prius will look pretty much like the old Toyota Prius. Prius-derivatives, or Prius hybrids with different body styles, are still "under study" according to Bob Carter, group vice president and general manager for the Toyota division at Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A..
Also expected in Detroit is a new, unique Lexus hybrid with a "completely different design than the Prius."

My question to them is WHY?
They don't have any trouble changing or modifying the looks of their other cars for no reason, then why not the Prius?
And yet there are people out there who think we have freedom to choice....
my guess is that they don't have enough batteries to maximize profits in each different size. once batteries become more available, i think you'll see more prius-derivatives.
i don't love saying it, but it is all about the benjamins.
Indeed.
