But ugly. http://www.theverge.com/2015/9/9/9277419/2016-toyota-prius-debut I've never really minded the Prius look, and this one isn't the worst either. My primary problem with the cars has always been the borderline dangerous rear visibility. I despise that bar across the most important area of vision. I can't believe they've kept that. _________________________ Matt

But ugly. http://www.theverge.com/2015/9/9/9277419/2016-toyota-prius-debut The original wasn't exactly pretty, but I don't think the new one looks bad. I guess I'll have to wait to see them on the road (except then they are usually in front of me, going 5mph below the speed limit). I still don't understand why Chevy changed the styling of the Volt. The prototype actually looked decent, but the production vehicle was... the opposite.

Only the back looks slightly off, but I guess it'll look different in real life. _________________________ Riocar 80gig S/N : 010101580 red Riocar 80gig (010102106) - backup
