I think many people who drive a Prius want others to see it and know they are more environmentally conscious than the next person. The "unique" styling of the Prius was like waving a flag.
Now, they are everywhere. It's even a very common taxi. Making a new, even more unique styling sells a new car to all those people -- gives them a new flag to wave saying they are greener than their neighbor.
