Well that's just great; I still don't want one.
Now to make my post marginally worth it.
It looks alright, but I'm not sure your Prius buyer is into mods. (at least not on/for their Prius)

That looks pretty nice actually, but like Faymester said, I still wouldn't want one.

I think it looks pretty attractive, very nicely done.

Hmm... No.
But enough to add it as my DD so I can drive my IS less, the mileage is racking up...
Also I like it enough to recommend it to my family and friends.

I'm with you man. I've always liked the distinctive styling of the Prius and this new one is a nice evolution.
It may not be sexy like an Aston Martin, but it does what it does pretty damn well. I think Toyota will sell lots of them. I might just buy one. My last tank of gas netted me 17 MPG.
