[QUOTE="im1knight, post: 2471873, member: 846685"] So, as we all know it, there's loads of people on internet these days saying prius is the "gayest" car ever built..But what's the reason for it? I mean it's definitely not pretty by any means, but where did the "gayness" of the car came from? The car looks fine to me(although i'm not a fan of that big white LED tail light design), it's just a normal hatchback car.. Is it the power people are bashing about? How it's slow and everything? But it's using a 1.8L engine with an electric motor that's the same size engine as the ones found in civic and corolla. How come people don't call those cars or cars with even smaller engines gay? I’m looking to purchase a prius and test drove one the other day, and it feels just like an normal car, it can keep up to speed with other drivers fine, and it cruise at 80mph on highway without any problem… it’s not a race track car by any means, but I mean for an everyday use car, it’s perfect. Who needs a V6 engine to drive to work every day when half the time they are stuck in traffic? Coming from a V6 Avalon I seriously did not feel any difference or lag in everyday use… Or is it the “environmentalist” thing people are criticizing about?
