So a cartoon battlefield is too much to handle.

Yeah. After his last few reviews I expected questionable takes (this one is mild compared to some, but it’s a ground-up hybrid and excels at it, don’t know what else you’d want), but I expected better photography out of the guy that have us his last name as a verb with a photo so iconic I have it on a Blip shirt.

Noticed this too.  So much lens flare and blurriness.  And straighten the steering wheel before taking pictures please!

Photos by a Motorola RAZR? Giving a phone camera a quick wipe before using it will have a huge impact on nearly every photo.

This makes thematic sense. It’s the caterpillar inside the cocoon.

3rd and 4th gen Prius are downright gorgeous. They have pronounced flowing lines, daring curves. They’re a unique design.

People never believe it when I tell them that statistically an Engineer/Conductor is going to kill someone at some point during their career. The ones that haven’t yet are dreading their first.

Picture # 2 captures that tense moment of waiting on the results of the paternity test.

Sorry Zach, but the Mini is too “mini” for me.  It sounds like I’m not alone...

The snark is a mask to cover the author’s raging jealousy.

Be snarky all you want, I’m jealous.  And if you ever were a regular on io9, then you are too.
