I only rode in a Prius 2x, once when my bosses wife drove me to the hospital for an eye burn and the other when my BIL gave me a ride to the dealership to get my car.

Both times sucked.

Couldn't talk smack to the bosses wife, but I talked so much crap to my BIL, he never offered to take me anywhere ever again.

I hate Prius' and their owners more than any other.
When they are in front of me at a traffic light, I make sure they can see my cooling fan through my grill. Just put that brush guard right up to their rear window and watch them inch forward as much as they can. Lol.

My BIL refers to Prius owners as "PIOUS" owners. They want the world to think they're all that and a bag o chips simply because they have purchased an overpriced car that will need $5000 worth of batteries five years down the road, negating any of the cost saving effects of lower gasoline usage. Add to that there is a huge cost to getting rid of the batteries in an environmentally friendly manner (although we could, concievably, drop them on the Mexican side of the border). Can't stand Prius'.....could you tell?

I really haven't given the Prius's much thought lately (not worth the effort) until last week when we were helping our son find a Camry. On the dealer's showroom floor I was looking for a Camry, but couldn't find one. But they did have a bunch of hideous looking cars all over the showroom.

Finally I was behind on of the hideous excuses for an automobile and saw "Prius" on the back. "No Wonder!"

And it's not just me.

the fourth-generation Prius has an aesthetic that could make children cry. The face combines fang-shaped headlights with awkward concavities and sudden edges. Not to be outdone, the rear is a hodgepodge of head-scratchers. Those taillights alone might qualify a car for this list.

I hate the turn signal thing, but what irks me more is when someone is turning, and the think they're in a semi truck and have to swerve toward the next lane over in order to make the turn. As if regular passenger cars and trucks are incapable of handling the normal turn radius of DOT-standard roadway design. You're not driving a friggin' tractor-trailer rig so stop pretending to. And when you swerve toward me in the next lane, you just about scare the crap out of me, so don't whine when I hit the horn.
