Toyota Prius hybrid sales have tanked: here are 4 reasons why

In case you can't open the link or are just too lazy to read it, here's the 4 reasons:

1. Low gas prices.
2. Higher mpg overall in many vehicles compared to to a few years ago.
3. Non-plugin hybrids available in many shapes and forms from many automakers now, so Prius feels less special in this regard.
4. The polarizing design of the Gen 4 Prius. Some love it, some hate it.

So, what are your thoughts on it?

Looks like a great upgrade from my BMW i3-REx.

Interesting that they expect to mate the Prime tech with a boxter engine:
