Does the screen have an ad that appears half way through it blocking the important bits? Does it reload the entire screen if you select read more and bring you to the top?

If anyone wants to make a prediction of the future based on user-experience proficiency, and how more and more of the car experience is the software, let’s take a minute to give rankings.

Eventually you just tune it out. Which makes the purpose questionable in the first place, but at least it stops being annoying.

So what you are saying is that we should buy one? Actually if I were in the market for a car like this, I would go with the Hyundai Ioniq. Much better looking dashboard and I think a plug in version is about the same price as a Prius Prime. 

Typically a body-moulded spoiler like this isn’t done for downforce, but to decrease drag. Basically, the air will follow a longer, smoother path from the roof to the back of the car, which helps decrease turbulence and flow separation.

Excellent point.  And you’re 100% correct.  The Prius Prime as as much about being noticed as any sports car or lifted truck.

at My Etsy you can mix & match for a custom set of 3 throw pillow.

You almost had it, almost, but then you said “appliance car.” Nope, that’s not it at all.

I hate cars that beep at you.
“Beep! There’s a car to your left!”
I know, car. I have eyes.
“Beep! Hey, did you know a software update is available for the maps that shows you the road’s speed?”
No, and I don’t care. I read road signs like any competent person.
“Beep! Just wanted to tell you the door’s open!”
I KNOW! I’M…

Just pray to might Zeus that they don’t bring back those little chrome plated plastics, where the one effin’ beam of sunlight outside will reflect directly in your eye, no matter how much you move your head or which direction you’re driving... Always. In. Your. Eye.

Blame the wind tunnel.  My Ioniq has the same annoying split in the rear window.  What it really needs is a wiper back there.

Ok, we get it Jason, you’re popular. Quit rubbing it in.

Well, this all goes a long way towards explaining why the drivers of them always seem to have the same grouchy dead-inside thousand-yard-stare expression on their faces...

All the little douchey touches a Prius Prime owner would look for when buying a Prius Prime.

You apparently need to actually answer your phone occasionally. Or delete some voicemails. A LOT of voicemails. Seriously, was Kristin reading you War and Peace via voicemail?

As a teenager in the late 80s I drove a ‘65 Mustang; 300 hp at the wheels in a car engineered in the ‘60s. It could get into a hole in traffic. My 18-year-old son currently owns and drives a 2002 WRX; 285 hp at the wheels, 5 speed, AWD. It can get into a hole in traffic and has the stability to execute an evasive…

The thing with the Thing is that if it’s revived you could call it the Thing-e. You could even revive the Schwimmwagen and call it the Thing-e Dinghy.

Every time I type “ID Buzz” into my iPhone it auto corrects to “I’d buzz” which drives me nuts. For that reason alone I hope they use e-Samba for the production version.

Welcome to Jalopnik, where the worst car is the best car for reasons.
