    I don't doubt that it's real. But it sure is funny looking. Not to mention it probably get horrible mileage :(

    The body shop pictures sure make for a convincing story - not only because there are so many pictures but also because someone would have spent quite a bit of time to create such an elaborate hoax.

    But why on Earth would you leave both antennae in place?

    Did all you nay sayers even look at the photos that are posted on the Autoblog site? Particularly the one that shows the welds on the body, how they made the door, the photos that are basically showing the step by step procedures. The shot with the doors open, the interior shots. There are photo shops of everything out there - this is not one of them.

    Whoever this 'hoyosilver' is, it's not me. Couldn't you have picked your own name? :)

    I think you're being teased, PC-12NG. Don't take it personally. We've seen these pictures before, and they were worth a thousand words then, too.

    It appears that this is not a photo shop. Look at this link http://blog.scifi.com/tech/archives/2007/1...=undefined#more

    Also look at this picture:

    OK, IT'S SETTLED THEN.

    We need to find the owner of this vehicle, pay for his trip, and invite him to Hybridfest. If anyone shows up with a six-door Prius we will all take pictures.

    (if no one shows up with a six-door Prius, we will all take pictures and Photoshop them)

    Or at least get some video, that would be tough to photoshop!

    At any rate, sorry for the double post. I didn't see the other. Although I see that I have been somewhat vindicated with other links and by the owner himself.

    As far as the newbie thing, I have been around before with another similar screen name. I had difficulty loging in and unfortunately, have no had a response from Prius Chat on the matter, so I re-registered.

    Regards

    PC-12NG, welcome to PriusChat. All of us "doubters" on this thread are actually making fun of you, we are well aware the car is real.

    Sorry, we just couldn't resist.

    Note that Evan and Tony are both moderators, and me, well, I'm still here, even though I consider the Prius to be a gas-guzzling piece of crap since I got my new car. ;-)

    Did autoblog just steal all the pictures off PriusChat?

    Don't go dragging me into this. I hadn't seen the original thread and am glad to have caught this one.

    Honestly, I'd like to see the car just out of curiosity.
