BREAKING: Possible leakage: 2010 Toyota Prius!

What you are looking at here may well be the first unofficial, official image of the third (fourth according to Toyota) generation Toyota Prius. The original hybrid isn’t supposed to debut until we get to Detroit in January, but three images that look like they may well be authentic have turned up on Prius forum. The shape we see here certainly fits with the camouflaged spy photos we’ve seen so far. The basic shape looks much like the current Prius, but the front has been re-shaped. The nose of the car fits in with the look of other current Toyotas but doesn’t seem to carry over much from the Hybrid X concept that appeared at Geneva 2007. If these photos are to be believed the interior unfortunately also carries over the interior concept of the current car with the center mounted gauges. We’ve contacted Toyota for a comment, but we don’t seriously expect anything other than a no comment. If we do learn anything more we’ll be sure to let you know. Thanks to Rafih for the tip!

Forum find: 2010 Audi A8?

The Audi A8 is understated and elegant…but its design is a little long in the tooth. It stays as is for model year 2009, but a significant revision is due for 2010, and we should expect to see that car unveiled sometime during the upcoming show season. Thanks the Gulf4Cars forum, we might have our first look at what to expect. Our Arabic’s a little rusty, so we don’t know where these scans (at least they appear to be scans) came from, but they look fairly solid, so let’s comment on what we can see.

Jaguar issues first recall of XF concept

Wednesday, December 31st, 1969

Filed under: Concept Cars, Jaguar

Not what you expected probably, but we have to play to our strengths. OK, maybe comedy ISN’T one of them after all. Anyway.

Hot on the heels of the slip-up that had a full-car shot of Chevy’s new Malibu appearing on the NAIAS website, pics of what we believe to be the new Jaguar XF concept were somehow leaked onto the net overnight. We have learned that it’s best to take a wait-and-see approach to these kinds of things and sure enough, no sooner had Jalopnik and a few others gone live with their stories, than Jaguar stepped up and pointed out that those copyrighted pics weren’t cleared for release. But like trying to make a gal un-pregnant, retrieving web-unleashed photos is pretty much impossible. Motor Authority still has a couple of images up if you want to check it out for yourself. It kind of makes us think of the old Dodge Intrepid, but in a modern sexy guise.

This S-Type replacement is so important for Jaguar, so we understand their desire to keep the new model under wraps until its official debut in Detroit. This new XF is trying to go head-to-head with the likes of the Mercedes CLS, while trying to erase the memory of the S-Type from people’s minds. Compared to the Benz, this cat has a similar, stylish-but-sporty look to it. Albeit with styling cues that follow the XK’s lead. Definitely a huge improvement over the retro S-Type. The tail, in particular, is pretty shapely, and very reminiscent of its corporate cousin, the Aston Martin Vantage. Like our pals at MotorAuthority, we can’t wait for the official press release scheduled for January 3rd.
