I like it. I drive a 2010

Sharp lines, oh how edgy.

I think Toyota should ''disappear'' the idiot/s who designed all the new dorky triangle front ends.

I'm betting that Toyota paid them in cocaine and mushrooms.

Well, to be fair, that does look a little better than the previous one.

Of course, I'm pretty sure no one buys priuses for how they look.

I'm no detective, but I think it's a 2016 Toyota Prius.

Are they flying them over here?

I hope the whole rear bumper doesn't have to come of to change a damn tail light bulb.

Toyota's design direction has just gone full God awful the last several years.

How environmentally friendly is flying them over two at a time?

Looks have never been a huge deal for me. How's the coefficient of drag?

Saw a new Lexus 430 today, the grille is a work of unmitigated clusterfvckiness. BMW has kidneys, Yota/Lexus has hourglasses. They don't work.

I've seen memes like that before... I can't help but think the kind of woman that fucks a guy simply because he drives a big ass brodozer has got to be filthy skanky whore I wouldn't want to touch with the brodozer's owner's dick anyway. It's like fucking Honey Boo Boo's mom and being all boastful that you got laid. That ain't nothing to be proud of!

Nice paint match on that left rear quarter.

Posted: 8/31/2015 10:17:16 PM EDT

[#16]

Not bad...

I would like to see them get the price down on their fuel fell vehicle. They have chosen to throw money at fuel cell technology rather than Battery electric cars. Time will tell if that was the right strategy.

I drive 2013 Prius

Ha ha! Yeah, that's a nice truck, but definitely a mall crawler. I've got a Ford Ranger, I lifted and threw the meats on because I like to pay off-road. The meme did amuse me though! And personally, I couldn't get laid if I drove a Ferrari with stacks of $100 bills on the dash...

Does this model have the feature that limits it 5-10 mph below the posted speed limits?

You have to be in the left lane with your turn signal on for no reason

My BIL sold his tricked out WRX STI for a prius. He knocked up his gf, he's not a scumbag so he did what he had to do. He likes the mileage but seems to hate it because it's a prius.

I'm not saying you have to drive a truck, or sports car but the fact is men are meant to be a little alpha. That's how it works in nature.

It is not possible to be even a little alpha in a prius. Drive something that gets the same mileage...

And now on to the list of things you tell yourself that makes it ok.

My fiancée has a 2009 with 99k. Will probably buy a "new" one in a few years when they are CPO.

Fugly.

The designer should be forced to eat the battery pack. One cell at a time.

OMG! That is so awesome! I want one now!
....NOT!

Totally lib and ghey!

No thanks.

Well, at least it doesn't look like an alien turd anymore.

Now it looks like a pissed off alien turd. I can see them tailgating brodozers trying to intimidate them with their Eco-friendliness.

I have a '08, and I like it. It has a BFL and a YETI sticker on the back hatch glass

Yeah, why do so many prius drivers get in the passing lane and do 5-10 under the speed limit?

Posted: 8/31/2015 10:48:20 PM EDT

The Toyota/Lexus designers have gone off the deep end. The Lexus 'hourglass' grills of the last few years are hideous.

That'd be my guess but I have zero investigator training.

A friend from high school is Head of Urology at the local hospital and he refers to them as the 'automotive vasectomy'. Not to mention they are about the least green car on the planet when you consider everything the production process includes. And at least w/ the Prius the warranty on a replacement batter (seems like they die after 100,00 to 150,000mi) is only 12 months, compared to 8 years/100,000mi in 49 states, 10 years/150,000mi in CA for the new car. Probably not that important as I doubt that most owners will rack up 200,00-300,00mi...but they are popular w/ long commute drivers. They also seem to have a fairly detrimental affect on the driving skills of those that own them.

Those taillights are seriously stupid.
But its a Prius. Looks probably aren't even in the top 10 considerations to their target consumer.

Im not going to argue the last part. I ran two reds the first day i owned it playing with the gadgets on the dash. I love the trunk space, the hidden floor holds atleast 4 ars and a ebr m14.

If the STI was tricked out enough he could've taken her for a ride and induced a miscarriage.

Prius sounds like pussy!

And a simple mathematical equation is that pussy = vagina.

No Arfcom man would be caught dead driving a vagina mobile!

Vagina mobiles are for young college age girls, and sissyfied namby pampys in Frisco.

Might as well saw his nuts off. He'll be liberal in a few years, you won't even know him anymore. People think that you have to get a mini van or some hybrid shit car because you have a kid on the way. What's wrong with a WRX? Fits a car seat and probably safe too, Subarus are built well. Isn't the Prius pretty unenvironmental to build?
