I hate the prius

Also you must be a small man with small things to be saying the prius looks huge.

I would keep those comments to yourself :chuckle:

Good luck on finding a hitch for an electric car/wagon :bigthumb:

the 07 had a hitch on it for a bike rack, this one needs one for the same reason. this one can actually haul more than the other one, the load capacity was like 825lb for the 07 but it's like 1050lbs on this one. dunno what they changed.

even though the back seat can move front/back and recline on the new one it's significantly less comfortable than the 07, but it is roomier. toyota cheaped out on the cupholders and they're way crappier now.

Classic new car mentality. Pay more for less quality.

In my opinion, I think the Prius wagon looks heaps better than the sedan. I don't know why, but I just think it flows better.

I don't want a Prius as that's a bandwagon I'm not ready to be on. But, I won't knock it on it's looks (read:wagon).
