    Not really a prius and not really that ugly in an impractical concept car sort of way...

    I totally disagree and think that this car looks awesome. But I love concept cars and am usually disappointed when I see the production models. I guess to each his own?:D Keri

    It's not that ugly... It just looks (quite a bit) like a cockroach; esp. from above!

    4wd approximated by having a second electric engine in the rear? ooh!

    Well, I for one feel better about my shiny green prius now :)

    Would love to know what it's MPG is like.

    I like it. If you don't like yours, give it to me.

    The interior layout would take some getting used to. I guess if you accelerate fast enough you don't need side-view mirrors.:)

    And people think that we buy our Prius to stand out in a crowd.

    I would put this car on par with the guy who buys the Lotus and drives it around. He wants to be seen.

    As far as personal impression, here's my take:

    I like everything except the back and the seating.

    My dog likes to sit next to me in the front passenger seat. He's not going to like sitting in the back. I also looks like the seating makes it awkward to get in and out of.

    I think that thing is absolutely beautiful, but then I love the design of most Italian sportscars.

    It's unusual, and futuristic, but ugly? Not so much.

    Greetings - I thought THIS was the ugliest Prius -

    I guess 'feeling the difference' is technically correct, cause I'm not seeing much difference....

    That is pretty ugly!!


    I think the Giugiaro is cool! I love it from the back! The inside leaves a bit to be desired. But I do agree it reminds me of the Lambo
