Well, I love the look and shape of the Prius. Actually, I owned three VW Beetles and loved the way they looked too.

I am betting some one was required to find 50 cars and just added filler. some of the cars listed are beautiful, even the non-Prius's.

like any "list" a lot i agree with, a lot i dont. just an opinion. everyone has one. thats why cars come in different colors and lets face it. this is a thinly disguised ploy by Newsweek to save money.

they will simply wait, memories will fade, they will swap out a half dozen cars or so and in 6 months post the article

"50 Most Beautiful Cars"
