Most people looking to modify their Prius (http://autos.aol.com/toyota-prius-2008:9210-overview) do so in order to extract even more fuel economy from the world's most popular hybrid. There undoubtedly aren't a whole lot of mechanically inclined Prius owners thinking limo, but thankfully for us there is one Canadian who did. The custom 10-seater was hacked at the middle, re-formed and re-stuffed, and welded back together. Sure, it seems as though adding considerable weight to a car specifically design with fuel economy in mind seems like a fruitless endeavor, but the man claims to still be getting 50 MPG. We'll believe the economy numbers when we see it. Meanwhile, it's only a matter of time before the designers at Citroen find out their C6 beauty (http://www.autoblog.com/2005/02/21/citroen-c6-executive-sedan/) has been duped.
