[Updated] It's going to be all about the Prius hybrid family at Toyota's 2011 Detroit Motor Show stand, as the Japanese automaker revealed today that in addition to the current third-generation Prius and Prius Plug-in vehicle (PHV), the first all-new addition to the Prius range, the as-of-yet unnamed compact minivan seen in the teaser above, will debut along with a new Prius-branded concept model.The company is keeping details on the prototype model under wraps for now, but with the Detroit Show just around the corner, it won't be long before we find out what it's all about. In the meantime, hit the break to check out two new teaser photos of the Prius MPV's dashboard and interior space.

"Prius v" apparently.
And this is exciting?
so it won't have seven seats, though it's probably for the better.
Is this so more people will be onboard when the gas pedal goes to the floor?
Wow people that comment on here are assholes toward Toyota.
Them haters will hate!
2011 seems most exciting. awaiting the new concept.
Strange thing Toyotas never "self-accelerated" in Europe. Think about it!
would love to see this dash on the current Prius hatchback instead of the needless flybridge which makes the interior feel claustrophobic.
"Wow people that comment on here are assholes toward Toyota."
Well toyota has been treating people like assholes for years and this year it all leaked out on them; why should we respect them for treating everyone like shit?
IF ... Ford fails to deliver the C-Max with their diesel option ... then the Prius Minivan will be the ONLY fuel frugal option ... that I see in the US for the foreseeable future in this segment ... with fuel above $3/gallon.
'Strange thing Toyotas never "self-accelerated" in Europe. Think about it!'
- You know people don't think too much. Thats why we have a media which works overtime to prop up 'home-made' cars.
Toyota worked hard for decades to earn the reputation of building the safest, best and most reliable vehicles. A company like that won't work their butts off and suddenly let it all go to trash. They put their thoughts on what people wanted unlike the American policy of 'buy what i build'.
TSA was supposed to catch the 'supposed' problem but the Toyotas CEO had to go in front of the congress so the 'supposed' problem could be publicized widely. The same Congress which 'of course' owns GM and what not.
Industrial sabotage, no less.
"Toyota worked hard for decades to earn the reputation of building the safest, best and most reliable vehicles" Ha! I guess this is why my father called his 1976 Toyota Celica the biggest pos he's ever owned and then I was stupid enough to buy a corolla.. The smallest, boring pos I've ever owned. And yes, companies can let it all go to trash. Look at GM for a good example. They made amazing cars that are still on the road today back in the 50's, 60's and 70's only to go to trash by the late 90's. Now, they have a product that compares and even beats Toyota because Toyota became reliant on their past and figured we would be to stupid to notice how they've slowly cheapened their vehicles. For a great example, look at the interior they put in the Tundra and even try to compare it with a new Ram or F-150. You can't, the Tundra has a interior that is worse off than a old Kia.
This is the face of it

Mate...what!..a Celica a POS?? Oh c'mon u don't have to hate or argue just for the sake of it. The 1976 Celica when it won Motor Trend's import car of the year.... a POS ? and if you were stupid you would have never have bought a Corolla. You have done well there mate.
Yeah GM made amazing cars in the 50s, 60s and 70s. The less said the better. An era where a huge carcass of a machine moving on wheels was good enough...forget the quality. An era where people knew very little and GM had Coca-Cola for competition.
The Celica was a fine line of cars and it was a damn shame it was discontinued in favor of a "family guy" corporate profile.
