^ There was a kid when I was in high school that had a similar auto zone spoiler on his Corolla, cheap & installed such that is deformed the trunk lid a bit at highway speed.

What... the... f...

I know the Prius always had tiny wheels, but it makes this version look even more horrendous.

Not a chop. I saw one recently at Barrett-Jackson. It looks like they took a previous gen Prius and put it in the microwave for too long. It smells like burnt popcorn on the inside.

It just looks so... melty?

Or arbitrarily angular?

Just. No, man. No.

Although, isn't Toyota spinning off Prius into it's own line like Scion and Lexus?

Maybe they just need a redheaded stepchild of the new line for no one to buy. This could be it.

It's ugly as hell and yet another reason to hate the Prius and their owners. Yet there are still people out there that will buy them.........

I know it doesn't have the melty angles but I still think of this. Getting closer:

I really have to wonder about the intelligence of some people.... Jee, I wonder if this is some ex boyfriend who just incriminated himself for trashing a vehicle. See you in jail!

^ Not as bad as the Mustang I saw last week here in Houston, the overly tall Walgreens trunk spoiler looked like it would blow off at highway speed.

Must be anothervone of those Nissan joint ventures... Like this Altima with the TRD performance package. (Need to zoom in on the door handles - that's where Toyota stealthily badges their Nissan upgrades)
