I understand this is legitimate. If you go over to Priuschat you will also find a posting from the "same group".

So, power trunk? Power sunroof? Let the speculation begin!

Oh, and no, you won't get a full pic. of the car. At least not just yet. It will be introduced in a few months at a car show (Detroit?).

My guess is it's a button for sunroof. Anyone else have thoughts?

Possible, but unusual that there is no tilt function. Still, some of the new very big glass roofs only open and close.

The angle of the switch in the picture looks like it must be located on the panel right above the drivers left knee. Why would a sunroof button be there?

Post Re: Sneak Peek of the New Prius

I like it! I think it looks a little more sleek than the current version, but being in L.A., I've seen so many Gen-2 Priuses, that I'm a little tired of it. This one looks a lot more Scion/Matrix-like from the front, so it should attract a lot more youngins!

What do current Prius owners think?
