The looks of the current model are part of the integrated anti theft system. Nobody will steal it!

 

Rumored in 2010 but that s going to be mostly internal stuff and maybe a few design changes but don’t expect anything drastic. If you are looking for a car looking car try the Camry hybrid or the civic hybrid both excellent cars that look like normal cars.

The OP is just trolling. He posted a link to a uk poll advocating a higher tax on "dirty" hybrids, as "diesels" are cleaner, a message stating that he gets 23mpg in his prius, and this link about how the car looks dull.

Almost sll 4 door sedans today look exactly the same from one block away. I bought the Prius over a new Diesel Jetta because of how it looks..... It's a year later and I have NO regrets!!!!!

oh, really ? ? :lol:

You mean he really didn't know that aerodynamic priorities dictate style? ` WoW ' I'm shocked ! !

 

Troll or not, I'll just take this opportunity to state I love the look of the current Prius. It does seem to inspire strong feelings on both sides though. I have a couple of friends (not owners themselves) who think the design looks "goofy". Me, I think the design is very pleasing to the eye. Something about the lines of the car and its overall symmetry, balance just appeals.

 

The look of the Prius is "ok" for me. Not the sexiest car on the road, but certainly not the worst. I buy my cars for what I want out of them, what they look like is further down the list.

My wife does not like the way they look. That was a major hurdel to overcome in aquiring the car!

 

I know some people don't like the look of the Prius because they think EVERY car should look like your average sedan. However, I've never heard it called "Dull" before (unless by "Interesting" you mean an Aztek, where then I consider "Dull" to be a compliment).

 

<_< I find it interesting that many new cars have adopted a "quasi-Prius" profile since the 2004 Prius was introduced. Notice the sweeping back ends with a 'spoiler' profile on the truck lid. It appears to me that Prius with its aerodynamic profile was the style leader. The advantages include less aerodynamic drag.

I have very little concern with what the guys standing on the sidewalk think about the car I prefer to drive. I am definitely NOT trying to impress them.

 

It's got looks that Paris Hilton would want to slide right on it with her car washing skills, Thats how good it looks.

( just let me be in the car) great style sleek appeal and yes curves too

 

I, too, love the curves of the prius. They were a lot of the reason I wanted one.

 

Love the look, flair and utility of the current Prius. Looking for an additional in the Touring. In fact, I am afraid that I won't like the next model redesign. It might be too radical or might have less interior height for utility. They might not make another Touring.
