Actually I honestly prefer the exterior looks. It's "less ugly". The interior on the other hand... very awkward looking. Of course I could be swayed with enough techno-gadgets built into that center stack.

Man, I really am not liking that new Toyota corporate "face". Apparently, that company is bound and determining to win some sort of ugly-off between it, Acura, and Subaru.

Of course, of much greater practical concern is that the Prius may be growing larger, more powerful, and less efficient.

I feel exactly the opposite but the same.

I'm not in the market for a Prius, nor do I like them.

Although this smacks of stereotyping, I don't like the people who buy the Prius. They tend to be anti-domestic auto industry, and seem to want to make more of a statement they can show to everyone.

That said, I think the new Prius looks better than the current one.

You replied to my post 8 minutes after I corrected it. It must have taken you a while to think up that reply.

I agree with Guy. I like it better than the old one.

Priuses would look good, underneath a Peterbilt.
