I kinda like the prius
A friend of mine has one, and it is surprisingly comfy to be in. Plus, (since his is a prius 4, with almost all the options) it's got a lot of tech, and a seriously good JBL sound system, with quite a bit of bass. Him and I were driving pretty ambitiously coming back from a party last night, and the prius didn't kill us, even though we were taking "suggested speed 25mph" turns at about 40-45mph. It's not fast, i'll give you that, but for what it is, it's actually half decent! Plus, him and I (both tall, quite physically active fellows) look positively hilarious in a red prius with the windows down, blasting Earth, Wind and Fire's "September" through some Washington backroads!

I want the shit outta a prius v. And a CR-Z!
Fuck all y'all I want a hybrid.

The prius V looks quite good! imagine it with a turbo4, lowered, and proper brakes!

Not gonna lie, a Prius V with the TRD Prius+ package is on me "WANTS" list. Pissed it doesn't have leather or stick though. If it had both, it'd be right below the 928 on my wants list.

I secretly like how it looks.
Give it an LS swap and I'll take it :)

The one thing that still amazes me about the Prius, at least the Gen 2, is the rest seat room. Never before have I felt like I had room to stretch out in the back of a car that small.

The JBL system is quite good. Source: I've slapped gangsta rap on one

Is it because I'm driving solo in the carpool lane with an LS swapped Priuis?

Hahahaha that's the best comment I've seen all weekend! Classic

Good idea. The LS should count as a human. It breathes naturally like a human does without any sort of forced induction. The LS has a soul too.

A Prius that was missing all its batteries would still be cheaper to fix and drive for six months than a used 928 that was running when you bought it X-D

I think there must be something in your water.

Give it an LS and it'll probably top out faster than the 'Vette it was supposed to go in. What's the CoD of that thing, .25? 200 shouldn't be impossible with the right gearing.

It will beat the Veyron
Let's get started on the swap tomorrow

In that case it better be a LS7

I kinda like the Prius C honestly...
And the CR-Z...
And the Volt...
DUDE I JUST THINK HYBRIDS ARE SO COOL HOW THEY WORK OK.
AND THEY USUALLY LOOK SO FUTURISTIC.

I just threw up a little in my mouth.

If you stretch a Prius out a little bit, flatten it, and then pull the rear haunches out...it actually starts looking good.
As it is? It's a really chintzy box.

I think Priuses are cool, I'd really love to own a plug in electric car as a DD and keep my MR2 for weekends.. but I can't justify one to 'save money on fuel' because the outright cost of buying one vs the fuel savings would mean I wouldn't be out in front for about 10 years.
Now maybe if there was a road worthy GT300 Prius I could have instead of the MR2..

I like how in the JBL speakers, the rear hatch shakes if you put the volume up.

Everything in this post can apply to any cheap used car, and nothing about it is unique or done particularly well by the prius. That's what I don't get: What you just described sounds exactly like my high school friend explaining the merits of his 2002 Pontiac Grand Prix. It had all of those merits and cost 1/5th the price.

Agreed. Every time I see a Prius C on the road I stop to think just how good looking of a car it is. It also pulls off that orange really well.

Volt or GTFO.
