Great aerodynamics that is great for performance use and going fast, but to those not in the know (ie most people who buy cars) the prius shape has now been associated with effeciency and slowness. For a halo car to re-establish the brand image it needs to break with the wedge shape.
Even the talks about the genIV that is coming in about a year say the shape is going to be less wedge like.
The racing version was also a hatch, even though Hot Hatches have been growing in popularity lately in North America, and it was awd, a rwd sedan is a much better halo car and can probably be built and sold at a higher profit.
