    Hilarious! I didn't think it was possible to make that car any uglier.

        Very Cool! But he must have tied the grocery bag to the top, eh?

            Not just ugly, but with 4 batteries to power all the added accessories, it makes the car much less environmentally friendly when it comes time to dispose of the old batteries. Not to mention the added weight detracting from the Prius' fuel economy.

            I can imagine these kinds of modifications driving the tree-huggers up the wall.

              I like it! They had fun with it, but they also made a few mods (like the shifter location) that Toyota should consider. The trailer said that the project was sponsored by Toyota, too, so I wonder what concepts they have for next year's auto shows.

              I bet most of the mods will show up at the PriusChat.com store. But the engine still sounds the same.

              This could do for the Prius what Tesla has done for EVs...
