I agree. They look like cockroaches (so do classic Citroens, but I like those). I found the Prius that I drove to be lacking in some very significant ways. The rear window slopes so much that when I look in the rearview mirror, there's only a sliver of window to see through. And the rear side panels are very wide, further reducing visibility. I just like to be able to see all around, and I couldn't do that in the Prius. Plus, the other cars I was looking at (Matrix, Fit, Rabbit, Corolla, Yaris, Versa) were about $8k cheaper, so I couldn't justify the purchase on gas savings alone.

They are so popular, and it's great that there are so many Prius aficionados. Too bad they can't use the same technology in an improved body. I like the first generation Prii better.

Hijack over.
