Prius 3rd Generation released

[Surefire]

And now... Toyota introduced the 3rd Generation Prius.

I think the front end is attractive.

The inside looks nice. Features look cool, like LED headlights and radar accident prevention.

However, the overall styling still reminds me of a slice of cheese (especially the back end).

Hideous looking car. Just awful.

Better looking than the original, which was a ripoff of a horrible Chevy from the early 1980's.

Hot, I want one. Nice spare car. Not loud and obnoxious enough for my tastes though.

 

[Rÿcher]

I'd consider one if they'd make it into a wagon. Kids, you know?

 

[JNG]

I was kind of hoping for more dramatic changes.

Yeah, looks pretty much the same to me.

You'd have to be a drooling moron to purchase a car based on appearance. Hmmm....makes sense actually.

Why should people who have a choice have to settle for an ugly car?

One of those was so close to being my first car.

Standard transmission, no A/C, 180,000 miles on it. $500.

And it was the first car I drove at like 14 or so. Had that little catalyst maintenance pop up over the odometer after a certain number of miles.

That's the ugly bugger ... and its predecessor.

Wow. It's actually more hideous then the current version. Do kinda like the idea of the touch tracer thing though.

No when I buy a new car, it will have a V8. Prius is not my deal.

 

[ShamelessMcBundy]

God that's ugly. I really don't like any angle of that car at all. Oh well, i have a pretty new car so i'm good.

LED headlights

I really don't know what it is about them (maybe the wavelength?), but I can't stand LED lights. If someone shines one at me, it's instant headache. Even if I'm just looking at the light it makes, it will give me a headache before long. I know that LED lights consume less energy, but I'd have to insist on an incandescent bulb.

I agree. The blueish light from the LED bulbs is so annoying.

I like LED lights in flashlights. The majority of my EDCs are LED.

Not sure how well they will work in a car though. Would need a lot of heat sinking to produce enough light for a car I would think.

I am embarrassed to say this but I think it's cute. I really really want one!

Did I miss the memo where this is the only car being sold?
