Jesus christ

Jesus christ

Not even Jesus Christ can help this situation. Damn. That's unappealing.

I always disliked Honda for making ugly dashboards. This, well now, this is a new level of ugly.

 

[Sodan]

Looks pretty cool at first glance.

But then looks more and more..."wrong" the longer I look at it. Not sure if I'm explaining this correctly.

 

[airborne]

Looks like a panelbeaters worst nightmare

 

[Rickster]

I can see a bit of LFA in that car.

 

[Neoprod]

it's a form following function thing...I assume this will have an even better drag co-efficient than previous generations.

the kind of customers who buy these cars are not overly-precious about looks, I generalise.

 

[Wasabee!]

I wish these Japs would open their eyes and design something appealing in order to promote the concept.

The problem is they eat too much rice so they are always constipated.

a most beautiful masterpiece of not.

"How can we make it uglier?"

Achievement unlocked.

 

[FiestaST]

Still strikingly ugly even in basic white...

My bruv who resides in Chicago told me about this rather cool Prius 4 ad shot there. Aired during the Super Bowl last night:

It will make people look, and then look back again.

 

[kat06sa]

Why can't they make hybrid cars that look normal?

 

[SauRoNZA]

Jeez do they have no imagination?

It's a solid car that could do well if they just tried.

 

[Rouxenator]

Why can't they make hybrid cars that look normal?

Some electric cars look good, the Nissan Leaf looks OK and the upcoming electric VW will probably look like the Golf 8.

"If there's electricity in the air at the 2016 New York International Auto Show, it's probably coming from the Toyota display, where the world's hybrid vehicle leader has unveiled the new Toyota Prius Prime, an ultra-efficient model with a plug-in hybrid powertrain. "Prime" means best, making it the perfect name for one of the most technologically advanced, best-equipped Prius in the model's history.

The Prius Prime's manufacturer-estimated 120 or above MPGe (miles per gallon equivalent) is expected to be the highest MPGe rating of any Plug-in Hybrid. It also represents a substantial 26-percent enhancement over its predecessor, a result of greater battery capacity and an improved hybrid system. In hybrid mode, the Prius Prime is targeting a hybrid MPG equal to or better than the Prius liftback."
