    Ray:
    Can I suggest that the Prius be banned from Jalopnik? While your at it ban all commentor references to it. No more saying "It looks like a Prius!". And ban anyone who breaks the ban on all things Prius rule.

    @gdfowler: Yes, yes! Let's ban all things which you do not personally approve of. While we're at it, let's change the name of the site to GDFowlernik.com and give you absolute control over who can and cannot comment. Or better yet, why don't you just go away, since you apparently don't like it here? Or better yet even, why don't you start you own blog so the true enthusiasts can stay away in droves?

    @Mike the Dog:
    I wasn't serious about banning Prius, or people who discussed it. That wouldn't even make sense. It was supposed to be a joke. I didn't mean to offend anyone. If I did, I apologize.


    Blasting on someone for occasional spelling and grammar errors, that's different.

    @gdfowler: Apparently, your sarcasm went right past, my apologies. I just get tired of reading comments where people bitch and whine about being "forced" to read things that don't appeal to them, and how those things should not be covered at all. Not to mention that it was pretty deep into the wee hours and a bottle of wine.

    Insight nose, total debadging, manual transmission, and mechanical power steering.


    Then I'll think about it.


    See, I'll never have to keep that promise, because it'll never happen. Because that would be interesting.

    "At 50 MPG the 2010 Toyota Prius will be the most fuel-efficient vehicle for sale in America."


    i live in europe and the above quote comes like quite a shock to me. 50mpg = most fuel-efficient? you have got to be kidding me!!!

    Pfft, the article should say most fuel-efficient CAR, not vehicle. Quite a few motorcycles have and still do better than that, and look a helluva lot better than the polished piggie that is the Prius.

    I really don't see any "design". And it looks like stylists mistook redesign as facelift and they accidentally used Nissan cues.


    Lazy evolution. Swoopy cabin's been done. New for the sake of new. No more.

    This is a great car because it will drive even more people to the Insight!


    The front end of this car reminds me of Princess Vespa before she got her new nose... however, this car still appeals to many of the Druish decent. Especially the Druish out in Hollywood...

    Please stop describing the Prius as "vanilla." Vanilla is a delicious, yet subtle flavor. This thing is a lump of unseasoned, room-temperature tofu.

    It jumped into the Midsize category? weird.


    otherwise--yeah, I like it. Front end in the first picture reminds me vaguely of some Subaru abortion from a couple of years ago, but I think it's just the lighting, so it's forgivable.

    Sung to the tune of Life's Been Good:


    My Toyota Prius goes fifty-five
    tucked in behind a semi....keeping slipstream alive
    I see a Hummer in my rearview
    I flicked him off and posted pics on FUH2


    They say I'm smug and I'm full of hot air,
    I get fifty miles per gallon...ask if I care


    I coast at twenty for blocks at a time
    cuz I know in four or five miles, there is a stop sign
    The drivers behind me want to skin me alive
    they're upset I'm doing fifteen in a forty-five


    They say I'm smug and I'm full of hot air
    I get fifty miles to the gallon..ask if I care


    I got me a Prius and I key SUVs
    I'm so green, I'm so green, I can do as I please
    They say I'm smug and I'm full of hot air
    I get fifty miles to the gallon...ask if I care
