2010 Toyota Prius-III Slideshow (cleanmpg.com/photos/slideshow.php?photo=10674&cat=619)

Looks in the photo like they actually did good amount of work on aerodynamics at the rear of the car.
Increased lip on the top edge, looks like it may even have a slight upward angle to trip the air into leaving the back of the car.
The sides in the rear also now appear to have edges/break point for the air.

I like that the energy information screen is moved up to the base of the windshield. I don't like that it's centered instead of in front of the driver. I still do a double-take at the blank dash in front of the wheel.

I think this new body looks a bit "heavier" than the old one. However, I can't argue with aerodynamics. I like the clean breaks all around the back. Is that a "break the airflow" lip at the bottom of the rear bumper? Cool.

nice writeup

The Michelin Energy Saver A/S is the best for low rolling resistance.
