While the new Prius isn't the most beautiful car-I don't think it's anywhere close to looking like an Aztec.

Most newer Lexus are in the class as Aztec ! Actually, Lexus front ends are worse.

The Prius insults your senses less the more you are around it.
I actually like some of the lines on it. I think the rearend is where it gets funky
But if it lowers the CD. So be it!

How are the Prius headlights at night? The ones on my Insight were so bad you outran them at 45 mph...

Prius headlights is very decent, it should rated as good. Not as good as the best HID but better than most current vehicles on the road.

My 05 Prius had HID headlights and the 16 has LED. I prefer the LEDs as they are just as bright and they cover more to the sides of the roads than the 05 did..

Thanks guys on the headlights.
If you ever drive the interstate and its in a lighted area it actually
is very hard to see. Weird but true.

Really funflyer? That would be great.
A good side view is great here in deer country.

Yep, the 16s headlights are great. I actually had to adjust mine a bit because other drivers always thought the high beams were on when they weren't. Others have had to do the same. There's a thread on this topic over on priuschat.

Looks like Toyota didn't check/aim the headlight correctly, or the design isn't perfect.

I had the same issue with my Insight
That said they were so poor it was hard to drive at night.
