Thread: PRIUS! Stop the hate and learn to RESPECT

*Yea, yea, I know about the other Prius thread

I think other then the Toyota symbol up front, there is nothing from a Prius on that car. Correct me if I'm wrong though.

All stock cars are basically the same, that's why they're "stock." It is just all the badges and paint that changes them. Still hate Prius's.

I will admit that is pretty cool, but throw enough extra engineering at ANY car and it'll get some respect....

Am at a loss here, what exactly is the dislike/hate…surely you can articulate your thoughts/feelings beyond the word "Hate." It can't be that it's a Toyota, we all know Toyota produces fine products. Is it that it's a Hybrid? I don't see that argument since so many other car makers are on the Hybrid bandwagon including Porsche...I don't see hating on them.

we hate them because they're not very pleasing to look at, opposed to a hybrid porsche.

^^They're not very pleasing to drive either

I hate them more than any other car for a few reasons. 1. They look like a cheese wedge 2. A large majority of people that purchase them in Southern California purchase them to be "eco cool" and the attitude comes with it...

Likewise here in NorCal....it's a 'Ooooo look at me I'm saving the environment! I can drive like a complete jackass and still be the awesomeness'

Meh.

The hate is that they are souless, boring, and the people that drive them are 9/10 stuck up eco maniac pricks. A Porsche that is hybrid is anything but souless....This isn't even a prius...it is a prius body with a N/A engine, not the electric motor that drives the ACTUAL production cars.
