Just when you thought a Prius could get any worse....

http://www.autoblog.com/2008/08/22/t...ta-prius-ever/

I didn't think it was possible to make the Prius any uglier. I was wrong.

It says when the batteries are fully charged it's a 100% electric car. With all the electronics and weight in that thing, I'd bet those batteries aren't fully charged for long.

They should do some real world testing. Their gas mileage (the only, and I mean only, reason to buy a Prius) is probably down in the teens...

Don't let these guys anywhere near a Camaro.

He spent 184 thousand? That's a ZR-1 and a million modifications on a Camaro.

And here I was thinking it was impossible to make those, ah, "transportation appliances" (nothing that drives as poorly as a Prius does deserves to be called a car) any more vile than they are stock. Disgusting.
The best comment in that entire thread... I think im going to start calling a few other vehicles.. transportation appliances..

Remember when 50mpg cars were fun?

Sure, the CRX hf took awhile to get to 60 mph... but it was fun in the same way that the Go-Kart track is fun. And I'm pretty certain a CRX hf would out run a 5 hp Briggs and Stratton Go-Kart. Not by much, but it would and turned in 50 mpg at the same time.

Now, we have dumpy...errr...ummm....whatever the hell a Prius is.

Boring and doesn't match the CRX hf's mileage. Barely matches the Civic HX's mpg.

No wonder this guy loaded his car up with crap.
