    I love the interior of the Gen 4! And the exterior, too! The rear lights grow on you over time if you don't like them at first.
    While we are fortunate that most car thieves don't know how to drive a Prius, they are more than happy to smash the windows and grab whatever they can in Bay Area (California) parking lots. Admired a new one just like mine going into the Golden Gate Park last weekend, and coming out two hours later noticed a rear window smashed out. What a shame.

    Reading earlier posts on this thread, I hate to tell you guys that the kind of car you drive determines whether you can get a date with a woman maybe up to age 20, but a more mature lady is looking at much more than just your wheels. I would steer clear of a guy who drives a Vette (unless it is his second or third car) because there is no room for the many things a couple need to enjoy life. That car screams "I want to remain single the rest of my driving years," out loud...at least to me. There are plenty of fast, comfortable riding, four door cars that can hold friends and family when you need to and still provide a thrilling drive. I would date a fellow with a large, clean Tesla or even a nice Gen 4 any day over a guy with a muscle car. And so would most of my female friends. Much more important is how you treat the woman, not what car you drive. And if you are a good driver. (We value our lives, too!)

    All of the new generation toyotas are ugly. Uhhhg-Lee! My Prius 4 touring included. The rear tail lights are hideous, I would hate to be the car behind me. But I bought one anyway. The new civics are worse. A stupid looking mess.

    Teslas on the other hand - nice! Smooth, simple, classic and sexy. The model 3 and model S both look great and aerodynamic and will stand the test of time. The model X is rather bulky like a weather balloon or something. I really wish Toyo would go with this styling.

    Fashions change, as do car designs. Get over it and move on, please. :censored:

    One thing I have noticed that as I have gotten older middle-aged women have become more attractive. Tastes change.

    One day you will look at your Four and wish you hadn't sold it (wrecked it, had it repossessed, gave it to charity).

    I love the way the 4G looks. It doesn't look like every other car out there.

    It's far better looking than most of the bland domestic product and some of the truly homely cars like the Hyundai Veloster and the new Honda Civic. I can hear Tom and Ray Magliozzi laughing about those two vehicles in my head...

    Can't say the same about my body style, but I really don't care any longer. O-oh, that's gonna go straight to Fred's House of Pancakes!!:cautious:

    Tesla is too bland. The model S is already looking old. Prius Gen 3 still looks modern and fresh. The 4 is way better looking then any Tesla.
