Probably the only Prius in the world that has 2 gas caps, and needs none of them.

It would have looked way better w/o the rear cladding and if a single shape for the roof had been created. It would have still been ugly as hell, but not quite as offensively so. Then again, it's the ugliest Subaru grafted to the ugliest Toyota... what do you expect it to look like.

I wonder why he didn't do it shorter like the comment a few down... Much less ugly but still ugly.

I think he probably just used as much of both vehicles as he could. Plus, if you look at the short version, the junction between the rear Prius door and Baja wheel well would have been a fabrication nightmare.
