Prius Performance - Classic Oxymoron =]

[bro589]

i still dont understand the point of burning fuel in order to charge a battery in order to propel the car. every non american educated person knows that when energy is transferred from one type to another ( gas to electricity), it is lost.

[pgannon1948]

@bro589 You've got to think about the not-so-obvious, bro589: when you're stopped at a signal or stop sign, your engine is just burning [wasting] gas. With a hybrid, the engine doesn't run [burn gas] unless it needs to in order to charge the battery, thus you get greatly improved mileage.

@bro589

hi it is exactly like in the diesel electric locomotive , use the electric motors to propel and the combustion engine to produce power , you know the result , diesel electric ones wins against the steam and pure diesel with efficiency , power and speed. Because electric motors delivers all power from 0 rpm and can handle much more power for short times , few times more than nominal without problems, only losing some efficiency.

I love that car. I know what I'm getting in 2 years. ;)

[flynmid]

I wouldnt drive that car if you gave it to me

[Justbeatit999]

@flynmid Copy that. It looks like a lunch box. My god it is ugly.

[mstngken]

[madjimms]

@mstngken Actually no, I have driven a Chevette before & its totally gutless.....

The Prius actually has like 40hp more & LOTS more torque.

[mtrcitymotown]

Dear Toyota:

I have noticed that further comments to the Prius. (Mr. Sikes) runaway boards have been blocked. I cannot make any comments contributory to many "Runaway Prius" boards and the last comments allowed were about 14-17 hours prior, therefore: this is evidence that those boards have been blocked. Why is this? Who is reponsible for this? If you have any information, please let us all know. This would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

[godzillaismad002]

That's because your mate Mr Sikes is a scam! Why litter the forum with scammers' complaints?

[littlevlittlev]

Somebody who knows how you can make the indicator light all the time. At: 00:21. Is it standard for the US version? I live in EU

[junglebites19]

our car,a 1996 toyota corolla XE philippines do charge the battery TOO WHILE RUNNING

[mtrcitymotown]

Good on gas, cuz the brakes don't work...

[dortmundpls]

Liar.

[mtrcitymotown]

Can you be that Naive!  Toyota lies to their customers. Deal with it!

[dortmundpls]

@mtrcitymotown Show us any reliable report that tested a Prius and found that the brakes didn't work. You can't, so that makes YOU the LIAR.

[mtrcitymotown]

@dortmundpls Try watching the news. What rock do you live under?

[luisomtz20]

I want one!

[Headshot426]

Buy a Ford Fusion hybrid, its twice the car, better quality and will stop when you expect it too.

[cody7445]

let's put a blower on it!

[ryu1036]

i wonder if its possible to turbo charge it

[cody7445]

@cody7445 and an upgraded V12 from some crazy ass Lamborghini

[ChuffChuffWoo]

Nice car, very 'cruisey' magic! :-))

[ChuffChuffWoo]

Lovely car, very 'cruisey' :-))

[JUKIO01]

if u buy a plug in kit, its possible to get 150-170 miles per gallon

[headlands]

Serious22222 -

Heh! This doesn't even come close to a Mazda 6. I test drove an early release last month and it's still a slow car; a touch faster than the old Prius and it handles a bit better, but it's still a Prius - you never forget that when driving it, as far as performance goes.

If you want something that's much more fun to drive, the VW Jetta TDI (diesel) is an option, but the Prius does get better mileage.

[lung1986]

it looks like a future car...

[innomind]

If Toyota brings the price of the new Prius down compatibly to the price of the new 2010 Honda Insight, people will lineup at the dealerships like the ones at the Apple stores when 3g iPhone came out... :)

Toyota, are you listening?

[hybridlancer2004]

The L.E.D. Headlamps look amazing at night on this car!

[serious22222]

if its acceleration can match that of a mazda 6, id be totally satisfied.

[europana7]

first comment ... woohoo
