I think the caption is fake but the picture isn’t. If you google “stretch Prius” there seem to be a bunch of photos of this thing going back like 15 years.

Edit: found an interview with the guy who makes these

that's a huge parking space

Too well done for me to believe it's real.

[-] N0t_5ure@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

This is the world we're living in I guess.

[-] Fiivemacs@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

it's not. all 3 doors are different. if this was real, 2 would be the same

Searching online I could find bunch of pictures of the same or similar design, so I think it's legit

[-] grue@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

I just want to know what vehicle model that center door glass and sill edge is from.

[-] grue@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Nah, correctly sloping the roof would require the doors to be different, and a skilled custom car builder could definitely do that. The part that stretches credibility is the notion that some guy who wrecked his two Priuses and welded them back together for the lolz would be that skilled.

You'd be surprised. I know a guy who would definitely do this, and has the skills to make it look amazing.

Dude is goofy as hell and dumb as a bag of rocks, but he's a genius at metalworking.

You know what? Good point.

I don't entirely hate it even as a fuck cars guy. At least it can hold more people than the average car.

[-] ferric_carcinization@lemmy.ml 9 points 1 day ago

I'm willing to count that as a bus.

they're called primo - prius limo

I'm going to assume this is AI slop.

[-] Sarcasmo220@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 day ago

I have actually seen one IRL. There was a local shop that worked exclusively on Prius' and they had made a stretch Prius similar to the picture.

[-] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

I assume the middle door was straight, without that weird diagonal part that is pictured here, right?

[-] 474D@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

This is getting almost as annoying as the slop

[-] CaptainBlagbird@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

It looks like a Gen 2 Prius, quite accurate for my untrained eye. Maybe AI is already advanced enough to get a specific model right, I don't follow that trend to know that well enough. Could also be a simple Photoshop or a funny Panorama shot coincidence.

This meme existed long before diffusion models
