Toyota Brings Back Tail Fins

I have a 2004 Toyota Prius.

It's my midlife crisis car, because I am the dullest motherf%$#er on the planet.

The new Priuses (Prii?) sport wonderful specifications, particularly the plug-in hybrid Prius Prime, but the styling is not to my taste.

I find it busy and distracting.

Specifically, it's a somewhat less ostentatious version of the tail fins from a 1959 Chevy Belair:



Please tell me that I am not the only one who sees this.
