What is that stuff on the front that looks like paper glued to the front end?

[smartyPantz]

It is a "spy photo"
that is its "disguise"

Looks like they havent done much cosmetically

I'd wait until the end of 2010. That's when the rumor says Toyota will introduce a plug-in hybrid that will get 100mpg. The other option is the Chevy Volt for 2011. Although I wish they were both smaller, if oil heads towards $200 a barrel, getting away from petroleum to a renewable cleaner resource will be something I'll embrace.

it's 'paper glued to the front end'.

they do that, ya know, to 'disguise' the car. kind of like wearing a pair of plastic glasses with a nose and mustache attached to 'disguise' YOURSELF.
