Wink Lookalike?

I've been seeing a lot of commercials featuring Toyota's newly re-designed Prius. Is it my imagination or does it not closely resemble (kinda sorta) the current model Fit?

I'm just sayin'

I think the Prius V does look a lot like the Fit. Or a cross between the Fit and the Mazda5. I keep seeing these all over town and for a split second, it looks like a Fit. The new Prius C, however, looks EXACTLY like the new Yaris if you ask me.

Both the Prius V & C look similar to the Fit, but I think the V is quite a bit larger. The new Prius C is probably closer in size to the Fit.

Yeah, if you don't notice that ugly toyota front end, it looks a lot like a fit. It is much bigger though.

Yeah, exterior dimensions for the Prius V are about, what, ten or so inches longer than the Fit? About the same length as my previous car, an '02 Saturn SL2. And the wheelbase for the Prius is longer as well. Think it'll make for a more stable ride?

But it seems like the interior dimensions are about the same or less than the Fit's, except where it comes to overall cargo storage, where the Fit trumps just about everyone else in it's class.

Toyota: Thanks, but no thanks. I'll stick with my Fit.
