Toyota’s own Modellista brand has introduced three different bodykits at once for the new 2010 Toyota Prius in the Japanese market. The kits available in versions 1, 2 and Aero Tourer improve the looks and possibly the car’s already efficient aerodynamics, but they are kinda pointless! Because Prius buyers have no concept of a proper [...]
