    Hmm…. i dunno to be honest?, the Prius has a development cost in excess of $1billion dollars, and the best design they can come up with is a bloated dairylee slice?.

    Fair enough the other cars on this thread are very amusing gopping to view but i doubt they’ve had more than few £0000 spent on them.

    Whatever you might think of the Prius, it’s a positive beauty compared to most of the others on this thread.

    The thing is, the majority of the bastardised cars in here are half reasonable to start with….. That however, is something the Atoyot Pious will never be..
    IMO

    I have a strong suspicion that somewhere behind doors the petrol companies are paying the car companies about 5 trillion pounds to make their hybrid cars look like something Jesus would design.

    I mean, why can’t you build a hybrid car, and then make it look like a Mondeo?

    I believe they are working on the 5th gen Prius design at the moment, codename the “jesus sandal”

    There’s an habit around here of getting a really nice Audi ( ahem ) Merc, BMW, etc and painting them Matt Black.

    Horrible.

    Will try to get some pics.

    Worst one around here is some guy who must be 30 if he’s a day, driving some bright green Nissan 300 or Skyline or something with a massive body kit and a ” batear ” spoiler on the back.

    Bet he looks out every day, clicks his fingers and goes ” yeah…….”

    Edit, that Calibras gotta be a joke, WTF would you put a convertible mini roof on a coupe ?!?!?!?

    The Ferrari 406 is something else

    Why on earth would you build such a pile of sh*te??

    My favorite part of his sales blurb is “The battery is located in the footwell of the passenger side, but there has been a battery tray installed in the rear on the boot should you wish to relocate it”

    Why put a battery in the footwell????

    Obvious, really. They look that shit so their owners can feel smug – “Look at me, everyone! I’m saving polar bears by driving this pile of greenwashed turd!”
    If it looked ‘normal’, they’d have to tell/bore (even more) people about it.

    I think the Ferrari would have looked tolerable if it didn’t have the tin foil stuck to it

    I am particularly enjoying the hand bent window wiper:

    Bit of a waste of time with the removable steering wheel, 2 problems I see are:-
    1.No one in there right mind would want to be seen in that monstrosity.
    2.You can get inside via the panel gaps if you wanted to nick anything or preferably do the guy a favour and torch it.

    I hasn’t seen the other pics. The wiper is amusing

    And the ‘Ferrari’, whomever wrapped that needs to be strung up! So many things wrong with that car it’s unreal.

    @grahamt1980. I know beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and each to his own. But for this

    I think the Ferrari would have looked tolerable if it didn’t have the tin foil stuck to it

    You need to go and sit in a corner, think about what you said, then have a stern word with yourself.

    Off you go.

    I think it would have looked rather better if it had been left as a 406!

    I did say tolerable, and that was from the one photo. But yes you are right it should have stayed as a 406

    That last one Tazzy is growing on me, I mean the camber angle to get those wheels in there!

    Agreed! Imagine if someone could pimp that up as a company van (Bike shop perhaps?) Would look AWSUMZ!

    There’s an habit around here of getting a really nice Audi ( ahem ) Merc, BMW, etc and painting them Matt Black.

    They’re not painted, they’re coated with a removable vinyl wrap. I’d go for a clear vinyl wrap, just to protect the paint from pigeon and seagull crap, and possible scratching.

    I just can’t take the Pious seriously at all, and for the folk that choose to drive them?….i’d best keep that to myself.

    It’s the choking cloud of smug that accompanies them that I dislike…

    The blue and white R8 is Steven Ireland isn’t it? It’s appalling

    He has previous…

    Wtf is Steven Ireland?
    Let me guess, he’s a Wendyballer, right? Is it an essential part of being a player that they have a taste bypass operation in order to get the job?
    And what his missus has done to that innocent Bentley should be subject to severe legal penalties!

    The middle one of the three that Tazzy posted is a Aztec. I had a ride in one last month and even for an American car it is truely horrible.

    There must be a guy that does them nearby; I saw a 3 series with the same job in Bradford a couple of years back.

    That shiny Merc reminds me of an old Airstream caravan. Except that Airstreams look good, obviously
