Kinja'd!!!

I quickly glanced an Ioniq in traffic yesterday. At first I saw it from behind while waiting to make a left turn. It ended up coming back the other way so I saw the front too. Initial reaction: “Wait, did Honda come out with some new Insight? Ohhhh, now I get it.”

I saw my first one yesterday as well, actually! Still not a hybrid guy, but at least it just looks like a normal car and not a crazy Decepticon on steriods like the current-gen Prius does...

I didn’t think the Ioniq was bad at all :)

“Here’s a hybrid that doesn’t look all crazy like a Prius” is exactly how Hyundai is marketing it.

Wow....did not know that, but if I am a litmus test for the population about the looks of the current Prius, they may do well, lol.

Hopefully it proves to be as reliable, although Hyundai/Kia’s cars are getting pretty decent in that respect.

I saw one for the first time just a few hours ago. Handsome car.
