(Toyota)
Toyota NS4
This plug-in hybrid concept debuted at the Detroit auto show in January. It's a break from the Prius family, with a lower, more futuristic design. The midsize vehicle has touchscreens that operate like smartphones and a "Human-Machine Interface" system that the company says can learn driver preferences and habits. It is intended for a global market by 2015.

Another terrible design. The car designs of late have absolutely no distinction whatsoever. They all look like the same thing; a "blob", or a simple little "squiggle". Plus, the unfortunate scourge of "lets make the windows as small as we can" design problem continues, and is getting worse. A design for a 9-year-old (who can't actually drive). Indicative of upside-down priorities.

Actually it is a fantastic design considering todays major design goals. Automotive design has moved a long way since the years when prototypes were just prototypes with a little or no chance of making it to real production.
BTW If the next prius is going to look anything like this, I will pre-order one today!
