When I took a Prime for a test drive, the sales lady pointed out the rear lights and profile. I was about 15 ft behind the car and took a squatting position and said,"Well if I can drive it from here, I'm sure I'll appreciate it."
Repeated adnauseam, are complaints by professional car reviewers about the Prius body design. If I am clarifying some technical aspect in a comment that also includes the stock 'Prius are fugly', I recommend if they see a Prius on the road while driving,"Just close your eyes and the problem will go away."
The irony is the third week of owning our BMW i3-REx, some kid in a pickup yelled out,"Your car is ugly!"
I was more surprised than anything else as in 10 years of Prius ownership, no one had ever yelled that at our Prius. In contrast, I've had people in traffic and parking lots admire our BMW i3-REx and I give them a tour. Heck in Mississippi, you'd have thought it was a spaceship.
Kudos on the original Insight. My understanding the Tesla Model 3 is also an aluminum (or nonferrous) body. Weight matters.
