A regular minivan would be a luxury hotel compared to the ruined Prius, and still gets 30 MPG.
Yes, but who is going to slide into that little cubby?!

I wonder what MPG that Prius gets now.

I thought of that.

I believe that was shared here a long time ago and someone called it a mullet, but it is still a vast improvement over this budget abomination.

I don't like the back end of the Inhabitat.

Why do front corners curve around the Prius?

Camp-Inn has created this crazy looking conversion that adds a fiber-reinforced plastic hump on the top and back of the Prius. The conversion gives you a spacious living area that has room for a retractable coffee table and sofa. There’s even a second floor that has enough space for a bed.
Pictured: An extremely-complicated bunk bed.

The weirdo in the video didn't go into the floor of his camper, but the Prius roof has so much curve, I would think that it would make everything complicated.

Is that dead space above the windshield?

In-floor storage?

I wonder what it would look like for a normal Prius to wear a Prius V like a hat.
