    Prius haters, i have questions for you.

    All I want is to know why you guys hate it so much?

    Is it the lack of power? the company? the fact that it saves the environment? the fact that you guys want the environment destroyed faster? seriously tell us

    EDIT:I'll admit that the first gen was ugly but the second prius is bloody beautiful.

    i dont like it because its just ridiculous

    i mean come on, the design is seriously very ugly, a serious person can not say it looks good.

    second, it "innovative features" are "who cares features" to me

    And third, i can think of sooo many cars that are in the same price range, and 100 times better in every single aspect

    actually it's features and technology are actually pretty cool i think, but it looks really ugly to me, and thats an oppinion, so if someone likes the car i think its ok, as far as hating goes its more on the scale of dislike for me.

    It's also overrated. The goverment is now saying that the mileage figures Toyota publishes are not realistic in everyday use and may be inflated by as much as 20%. There are other companies and other cars that use traditional combustible engines and get much better mileage and better emissions.
    I'm going to eat breakfast. And then I'm going to change the world.

    I like it, it's not ugly, saves gas, nice interior and a lot of space.

    It is a slow car, but every other feature makes up for that, and speed is something that they will probably deal with in the near future... Well, as a matter of fact Honda already came out with the Accord Hybrid producing 250HP.

    Thumbs up for hybrid vehicles, and thumbs up for Karrmann for being 12 year old guy and focusing in something else than speed and power.

    You guys might have reasons to ignore the Prius and not buy it.... but to hate it?? Come on....

    Lexus has made a hybrid RX-330 (or 430, cant remember the new name of it)

    it gets good gas mileage, i think it was like 38 mpg or something

    The Toyota Prius doesn't really make sense financially, especially when there are diesels on the market. However, it is definitely a step in the right direction - not specifically hybrids, but any alternative enviro-technologies are welcomed.

    It's pretty stupid to hate a car just because of the way it looks. I mean, it's not like someone's forcing you to buy one... you hate it because of it's looks? The Enzo is a great car with lots of incredible technology, and despite it looking hideous to me, I can still appreciate it. Open your eyes folks... the world wasn't designed around you.
