2016 Prius

Let me be the first to say: What the hell is Toyota thinking!?

I thought the old Prius was ugly, but they just raised the ugly bar to a whole new level!

Toyota have elevated ugly to a religion.

The uglier it is, the more pious I am for driving it...

It's called "modern" design lol. But seriously though, almost all cars nowadays look like they're from Futurama.

I think it is suppose to look like the Toyota Mirai - the new hydrogen fuel cell car for Japan and California.





Here is a comparison of their new grilles.

Toyota Mirai


Toyota Prius



Go green, am I right?

It's all a big conspiracy! Big Oil is covertly paying the hybrid car designers to purposely make them as ugly as possible so that no one will buy them. That way people will keep sucking down their supply of fuel in large quantities!
