I thought the new Camry looked pretty sensible, not too psycho, but the crazy people came back to design the Prius once more. When are they going to fire them?

It's ugly, but does anyone really drive a Prius for the looks?

Honestly? Why not, it's not like I'd ever drive a Prius. I'm not going to go blind cause I see these on the roads cutting me off everywhere I go.

Voluntarily driving an ugly car is selfish and antisocial.

Don't worry I'm sure someone will put on rocket bunny fenders and speedhunters stickers all over it to please the fanboys

Actually yes. Many people drive a prius simply because it is so obvious what it is at a distance they can feel smug and rub it in everyone's face that they are ecofreaks. Why do you think celebrities drive them to award shows?

If I drove a prius I would probably act smug and elitist just because.

I wondered why anyone would make a post about the new Prius on a sports car forum. Then I saw that it was to mock it. Okay, I am in!

That is my fear as well! The current beauty (to me) is in the simplicity of the design and the mostly gentle following curves. That could be ruined by sharp angles and huge concaves.
