And, while I'm here, the new Prius is new. But ugly.

I've never really minded the Prius look, and this one isn't the worst either. My primary problem with the cars has always been the borderline dangerous rear visibility. I despise that bar across the most important area of vision. I can't believe they've kept that.

Wow, they're not kidding. It doesn't even look like a car, looks more like a Mondrian painting or something.

The original wasn't exactly pretty, but I don't think the new one looks bad. I guess I'll have to wait to see them on the road (except then they are usually in front of me, going 5mph below the speed limit).

I still don't understand why Chevy changed the styling of the Volt. The prototype actually looked decent, but the production vehicle was... the opposite.

Degustibus et coloribus... I don't think it looks that bad. I think it's an improvement over the old version really. Only the back looks slightly off, but I guess it'll look different in real life.

That was one of his best remarks ever.
