Video: 2010 Toyota Prius Hybrid Driving and Static Footage

Looks like there's a conspiracy of some kind among automakers when it comes to publishing video material for their hybrid models. Just like Honda and it's ultra tedious Insight video, Toyota also released some lifeless 'b-roll' footage for the new Prius that was revealed at the Detroit Show. For the record, we edited the official video cutting it down to a viewable four minutes as well as adding an 'eco' conscious song to break the annoying silence. Enjoy it right after the jump.

2010 Toyota Prius Hybrid: New Photos and Amateur Video Adverts

Believe it or not, the same enthusiast website that "leaked" the first official photos of the new 2010 Prius has not only released a new set of pictures that appear once again to have been scanned from a presentation film but also two amateur commercials of the vehicle. In a time when such leaks are threatened with legal actions, Toyota not only doesn't seem to care, but as many of you may remember, company officials didn't have the slightest problem to publicly confirm the authenticity of the photos on the firm's official blog site. What we can say...

But anyhow, the new photos give us a few more grainy details of Toyota's third-generation hybrid model that will make its global premiere at the Detroit Motorshow in mid-January 2009. See the photos along with the two amateur video ads -gently now- by hitting the jump.
