I have sadly. It also had a sticker saying that their carbon monoxide was offset by buying some sort of credits. Whatever the hell that means.

Nothing they did will offset the nickel in the batteries!!

Meh, I don't like it, but if Kenstyle made it, I guess it's okay.

If the point is, "I can make a Prius look cool and fast" they hit the mark, but it just doesn't make any sense. Kinda like a slammed dually.

All it needs is a Fusa hanging from the rear view mirror and it'll be a VIP car

I guess it's not too bad because the stock Prius is just plain...

why can't Toyota simply re-design the Prius so that it's not so bland?


and I know what I'm about to say should really be in the "pet peeve" thread... but I'm sick of seeing celebs trying so hard to make a statement with the Prius... occasionally I watch TMZ and celebs are now being chauffeur'd in Prius

1st gen was bland. I dont the current gen is bland at all. There is no mistaking that its a prius when you see it. No other car looks like it, and it has a nice design. I actually like how they look.

Looks OK, I guess. Not so sure about the wing on the back being on a Prius, though...

Question

Nice wheels.....Sad car.

It makes sense to go electric for running around town, but the whole hybrid thing is a bunch of $hit. As others have stated, the car will not last forever, and the batteries are an ecological nightmare.

But some people feel good as the drive over to the Whole Foods store and by $10 apples, proudly making an "environmental statement".

Whatever.

Huh? I'm pretty sure they buy the apples and don't drive by them.

No chance I would hit it. But it's not horrible for a Prius.

It's like a rolling oxymoron.
Who the hell buys a Prius to do that to it?
