Prius 3rd Generation released

Doesn't look all that different from the one currently. I kind of wish they got rid of the hunchback but it's still a nice looking car.
 
It's about as ugly as the current Prius, which is unfortunate. The new Honda Insight is slightly less weird in front, but has a similar profile. I believe the overall shape of the vehicle is designed to make it aerodynamic to improve fuel economy, but dang it's so ugly, I don't think I could bring myself to pay for one. But people seem to love it... hybrid owners apparently like driving ugly cars because they immediately stand out and it lets everyone else know they're driving a hybrid.
 
^^^ I guess you've never seen a hybrid Civic.

A friend has one, actually. It hasn't sold nearly as well as the Prius, but I think that overall it's been successful for Honda. And I don't like the Honda Civic Hybrid because of the Civic's bizarre dashboard layout.
 
I like it. Seems like a evolution of the current design, which is smart. It would be unwise to detract too much from the current Prius, which is hugely popular.
