The Fifth-Generation Toyota Prius: A Future Classic?

The Prius used to be one of the most criticized cars in the automotive community, but the latest generation has surprised everyone with a stunning comeback.

If a GR (Gazoo Racing) Prius ever happens, it would be amazing!

A GR Prius could definitely work. The RAV4 Prime has 302 HP and is the second-fastest Toyota after the Supra. Imagine that drivetrain in the lighter Prius!

Wait, the RAV4 Prime has 302 HP? Didn’t know that!

Try driving a Crown Platinum. It has 340 HP and 400 lb-ft of torque with AWD, plus it ditches the CVT for a 6-speed automatic. Mine just hit 10,000 miles, and it’s the nicest Toyota I’ve ever owned.

I call it the ‘little dart’ because of its sleek design. If I needed a dedicated commuter car and didn’t need to use it as a family vehicle, I’d definitely get one.

The new Prius has a silhouette reminiscent of the classic CRX. I could totally see myself driving one of these.

The design is almost Lamborghini or Ferrari-inspired. It gets 200+ HP and over 50 MPG. I think this Prius has a shot at becoming a future enthusiast car. If they can run up to 300,000 miles like some older models, they’ll definitely hold their value.

Not a fan here. The bump on the front bumper looks strange since we don’t have front plates in my state. Plus, I don’t like the shape of the rear doors. Still, it seems most people love it since there’s a huge waitlist.

I can’t believe I’m saying this, but I actually like how the new Prius looks. I never thought I’d see the day.

No commuter car is a ‘classic.’ Just be happy that it’s not ugly anymore and move on.

The original Honda Insight was also a commuter car, and it’s now considered a cult classic. The Gen 5 Prius can even outrun a Civic Si while having AWD and double the gas mileage.
