Third Generation Toyota Prius looks like a UFO

Welcome to Hybrid Cars That Look Like UFOs. In today's first official blog, I would like to talk about the 3rd Generation Prius that recently launched this Spring 2009.

"It's even uglier than the previous Prius models!"

What is wrong with Toyota's auto designers? Making a Hybrid vehicle look like a goddamn UFO won't gain the car any more MPG. According to Toyota, they believe that these round-shaped cars makes them save a bit more gas because of less wind resistance. But seriously, how much more gas does this aerodynamic design makes the Prius save? I bet is less than a gallon every 100 miles. The day an automaker develops a hybrid car, that looks like real car, that will be the day I will consider purchasing a Hybrid.

  1. just a thought. If it saved a gallon for every hundred miles, that would be an insane difference. If the car gets 100 miles to a gallon, and saves that gallon every hundred miles then it would efectivly use no gas.

    It it got 25 miles to the gallon saving a gallon every hundred means you save 25% more fuel.
