Makes sense. Anyway, if the Prius had a real transmission (eventually an AMT or a manual) allowing it to remain drivable (at least until the closest technical assistance location) even if the battery had a failure I could eventually be more favorable to it than to the Civic. I actually don't hate the Prius for its design, it looks kinda boring but not so ugly at all.
