  • Now this is what I call a smart car, unlike the smart for twos

  • Can you imagine showing people back in the 1920's this car?? I wonder what they would say??

  • Prius!!!........ you hybrid piece of SHIT!!!!!!

  • @BALLZ2YOU63665 Oh that's a shame. I'm sure complaining about how awful it is will help your situation.

  • Toyota is AMAZING!!!!

  • What a piece of junk! To much electrical crap that any thinking person would not need or want.

  • sounds like that baby out of family guy

  • EV mode can be used by speciel security force when stealth operation needed.

  • I dont fuckin CARE what anyone says im gettin a prius!....shit just drive around all day on pennys....im plannin to vist every state in the USA thats thanks 2 higher technology advancments.....soon soon ! it will be cars that can fly...and everyone will have one..

  • BUY A REAL CAR, GET A JETTA TDI, 50MPG, BATTERRIES NOT REQUIRED

  • @renefern Not 50. I checked and it is around 30 40 mpg. Prius gets 50-60mpg.

  • I own one and is around 48-50 highway mpg depending on hard you drive it. EPA has the numbers wrong.

    Combined city/highway is 41mpg

  • @renefern what year is it?

  • Brb.... I need to go get my cigarettes out of my 1998 Dodge Ram, 1500' 5.9L V8

  • don't buy a hybrid, go out and plant 60 trees and you will have completely offset your carbon footprint for life

  • I love the Prius, and I think it is a beautiful modern looking car!!!

  • .... It must be incredibly difficult to make a fuel efficient car that looks decent... My one problem with the Prius...

  • the high hybrid technology is porsche....

  • watch?v=RL4wfilTe-o

  • Ask the poor Canadians, whose surroundings are destroyed getting the raw-material for this devastating car and his battery, they think different......

  • @ursus911 you may need to do some research - look up what Nickel is used in, the 1% Toyota use, that they have a recycling program for is nothing compared to what Nickel is used in. Yes there needs to be development in batteries and most things we consume from the earth - it's a start that we have cars that use a quarter than what they used to. You can't blame Toyota for damage done in the 70's and the plant concerned has made massive progress in cleaning up their processes.

  • I'd rather drink the acid in the battery than drive one of these things....how anybody can call this an "Eco" car is beyond me....if you want an enviromentaly friendly car, Buy somthing that will last a long time.....sustainability is far more important....If you buy somthing that is Very well built it will last for ever, Toyota has clearly shown that they do not build there "NEW" cars well....if they were built like the old Hilux, then fine....but this is just a waste of money and materials.

  • i drove the 07 prius, fantastic car, gets around 55 mpg overall, i doubt the fusion gets near 40, and honestly we all know that when ford says 40, that really means in the low 30's. My 01 taurus gets no where near its claimed MPG.

    the prius is also much faster due to its 300 lb/ft or torque, compared to the 180 in the taurus V6 gas guzzeler.

  • id rather have a lemon car

  • @aceofspaids98 if you bought an american car you did buy a lemon

  • crap car

    i would rather have a morris marina

  • zoom-smash-boom-ohh what a feeling

  • I will only buy one if it totaly runs on gas.

  • The smart key is dumb. If a woman is walking towards her car in a parking lot and dosnt have a clear view of her car; a person could jump in it before she gets there and hide in the back seat.

  • You can select to open only the driver's door or all four door.

  • Actually not true. Smart key works only a meter or two (few feet) from the car. And you have to press the front door handle to unlock.

    So your scenario is very difficult to achieve.

  • And if the lady opened the front door hand put her handbag in and went to open to boot to put stuff in a person could jump in the car and drive away with the power button

  • @ SirTragain

    That would not happen, as the smart key only works in a really short distance from the door only, and only unlocks the driver passenger door.

  • The thing is the same folks that for the last few year rated toyota and honda best Now say that Ford in all catagories is superior, that is to say for ever like honda,toyota clas Ford similar class rates higher Ford has certainly made significant value improvements and are certainly worth a good look. That's all I'm saying

  • I saw those outstanding Ford ratings too,

    looks like Ford is on the positive track, Although I like the GM 230mpg volt

    prius

    was ok the GM stuff just looks better

  • Oh well thats all well and good then, we can save the world simply by buying an over-priced rust bucket that you do not need a key to enter... The whole concept of this car is laughable, at best. There is a way to save fuel (and the environment) and that is by not buying useless shit that no one really needs.

  • i m interested in buying one

  • americadashi Buy the Ford Fusion Hybrid as it has better MPG and is faster, and has more space.

  • now i think of buying a honda insight because its the lowest price hybrid now

  • Well you get what you pay for. Remember the Ford Fusion is a better rated car, save for awhile ,its worth it

  • starview1, I'm not sure where you're getting your information from, but the Toyota Prius is the most effecient Hybrid currently being made. The Fusion Hybrid gets worse mileage in both City and Highway driving. The Fusion can go farther on a single tank of gas though, due to the fact that the gas tank is about 7 gallons bigger. True, it is a bigger car, but it is not much bigger, and the little bit more space you would get doesn't make up for the extra $6000 it costs.

  • The 2010Prius gets better mpg than ford 2010 fussion, but the Ford Fusion has bette driveability,more room, USA today rated the Ford without equal,primarily because of superior styleing and btter highway performance

  • Prius is not a open road car, its dangerous on mountain hills, at the end of the day it's a city comuter car, It's not a family car. It's weak.

  • Really? I wish I had known that before I went on a 2 week cross-country trip in our Prius. I'm guess we shouldn't have taken those wet mountain roads at 60mph. Good thing you knew that.

  • Riandidit I didn't indicate it couldn't operate as you said, but it is not something to do on a regular basis, why?because the car is underpowered and further the car is not a family car, four people and luggage strains the machine, it is what it is, a non performance vehicle, the car has its application, but ..

  • The prius is not a road car, really a city car for occasional road trips, but yep under powered and a weak car, actually the chevy volt looks neat, am very interested in that GM style

  • I doubt the Volt will do as well as the Prius, if it's ever produced. But it does look cool.

  • Riandidit That volt is a complete redesign,ground up change .The fuel cell version was the original concept, but the market isn't fuel ready yet.California is the only place I think that is setting up some fueling/charging stations wait and see I suppose.

  • Riandidit the Ford Fusion Hybrid is a better car choice for now as it has better specs than the Prius.

  • I disagree with that, I don't think it strains it anymore than that load would strain a pickup. The Prius actually has more torque than some pickups. It's definitely not underpowered, it goes up hills better than a 3.9LV6 Pontiac G6 GTP. The Prius is definitely capable of performing well in most environments.

  • Riandidit well the thing is, I've driven. (rented) prius, G6, Buick Lacerne,Nisson,Camry,BMW,Ford fussion,Cad CTS and the one with no punch after 55 mph was/is the prius by the way the camry 6cyl. had an oil pressure problem? Cars driven in AZ, area as a note ,of course the CTS Cad. and BMW where the best of the bunch, although the Buick, &Ford Fussion was/were close and the passengers felt the Buick best as far as wind noise.Prius is ok,just not upto league with those others in this report

  • I was driving home from a wedding the other day, and I was travelling at around 75 on the highway. Whenever I put it back on Cruise after slowing down for stuff, There was enough punch all the way up to 75 to satisfy me. True it wasn't like flooring it in a sports car, but it was still decent.

  • Riandidit The prius 0 to 60 is 10.4 sec.The Pontiac v6GT is 7 sec. The prius is better mpg The Pontiac is Faster and of course has more room Two different cars. The Ford Fusion Hybrid is also better MPG than prius and the Fusion is faster.

  • I rode in a 2005 Prius along with three other people, and it is noticeably quicker than my Taurus, which has a V6.

  • wow what if somone breaks the window and presses the button then your screwed

  • it doesnt start unless the smart key is close by

  • ah i see

  • Damn! when I'm turning 18 I'm so gonna buy this car! Maybe there will be a new version by then..

  • and you have almost everything the prius has on an european car

  • gm is best in asking for money

    GM=Give Money

  • toyota is best ever

  • With the keys like that, you can sit in a deli with the keys in your pocket whilst someone gets in your car, and steals few items from inside the car. They might also re-park the car in the middle of a road to get your car fined... I should try that sometime!

  • Umm you have to be within something like 6 inches from the door to even get the car unlocked

  • 3 feet actually.

  • Wow, thats kinda not safe...

  • Yaaa "No noice"

  • this car can drive 50miles for 1 gallon

    maybe another cars are 40mile for 1 gallon

  • We are having this car. It´s verry good car.

  • this car is so nuts my best freinds dad has one nd hes always the one to drive us around.. whn u back up there is a camera tht shows u wht is behind u the doors close quiet nd easy there is no noise wht so ever nd it has the smoothest driving in the world its so koo

  • so your calling AMERICAN CONSUMER STUPID ?

    and the SUV the reason for bankruptcy and they can build camaros with diesel

    im confused whos stupid ?

  • Beacause they don't have brain.

  • @emforty2 Camaros with diesel engines? FOR THE LOVE OF MARY, TAKE THAT BACK NOW!

  • people who will buy this shit are totally insane!

    prius...insight...ugly like shit!

    the ugliest "cars" of the world.

    I really wonder if the hollywood producer will be so brave to put these shit in their movies!!!

    USA is recognized worldwide for big cars,muscle cars,limousine,off-road veichles....now the America highways and freeways are full of cars lookin like condoms!

  • there are 1.75 million sold of prius worldwide since it debut 12 years ago ..yes over a decade ago. its ugly but bankruptcy is UGLIER !!

    yes USA is recognized for its muscle cars thats why its going down.

    Toyoto is #1 seller or cars worldwide unseating GM on a bad economy.

  • 1.75 million people with their taste in their asses!

    regarding muscle cars you're completely wrong,the SUV is the reason for bankruptcy,muscle cars are the few that sells strong,and then you can build camaros and mustangs with hybrid or diesel engines.

    Anyway is very sad seeing the American freeways and highways filled with ugly cars.

    American people is so stupid that are not understanding that their big cars are an icon for a foreigner,now they are destroying this icon driving condoms!

  • It's called futuristic. People don't drive car only by its looking. Smart people consider every aspects of each vheicle, such as fuel economy, size, price, & its use. Perhaps, u have collection of car toys, but never drove vheicle before.

  • For those of you people who would rather not watch the entire video, I have came up with a summary of it:

    The Toyota Prius is a piece of crap.

  • Wack! =/

    Takes away The taste of a Real Car!!

    To much Tech sucks

    To much of anything in general SUCKS!!

  • FUCK OFF PRIUS IS THE BEST CAR ON WORLD!

    IT PERFECT FOR FAMILYS AND REALLY SAFE!

    Have you toght that if you have more than 1 kid, its hard to transport it on a fast car like ferrari ( 2 seated car ), maybe you don't mind to pick hem up 1 by 1 :D

  • WOW. Angry much?!

    I have a family of 4, a Prius and a BMW M3 Convertible I can move them around in both.

    As for the Prius being "THE BEST CAR ON EARTH" I don't think so. It is nice but I feel man kind has done and will be able to do better then the Prius.

    It is not perfect. I cant think of a car that is.

  • Wow! everything is so......electric.

  • EV, wat are they thinkn! no noise thats the worst idea ever! It looks horrible, its not safe, the bmw v8 m3 is more fuel efficient! Do what jeremy clarckson says and get a golf diesel!!

  • nice video, i really cant wait to see the unveiling of the 2009 prius, i was about to buy a 2008 prius until i heard about the 2009 prius that wa going to be unveiled at the michigan car show on 11th of january :)

    So really cant wait to check it out and cant wait to get my hands on a prius, not only because i then know im emitting way less CO2 but also because i really like the way the Prius drives and handles as well as how nice is it is to sit silently in traffic relaxing :)

  • This car is made in japan, japanese are very good in technology.

  • Japanese technology is impressive, very impressive. But the problem with the is their ferociousness. They could become on top by simply sitting down and watching GM trying to catch up for several years, but instead they have no mercy. They're trying to destroy GM as well as any other competition. An then we'll have monopolium. The western world will become poor, poeple will be starving, have no jobs and so.

    Just my little prediction.

  • *"become" I mean "remain"

  • So you're saying that the Americans are helpless in this? Give me a break! They invented capitalism and now seem to have forgotten the rules! Perhaps if they studied a little more engineering and did a little less crying they'd get more respect!

  • ...

  • lol Jeff Dunham is a smart guy eh?

  • Why doesn't Toyota do a Prius diesel?

  • Toyota is trialing hundreds of diesel hybrid delivery trucks as we speek in Japan. These trials are improving and adapting the hybrid system while pairing it to the unique strengths of the diesel engine. They are coming, Toyota is now over 8yrs ahead of every other major automaker in terms of bringing these new adaptations to the customer.

  • Wrong, I'd say very wrong. First one to overcome the diesel hybrid problems was PSA. I read about it about month ago and they'll be the first to produce diesel hybrid vehicles.

  • What the hell is PSA?

  • Peugeot Société Anonyme

  • Toyota is at least 8years ahead od every othe auto maker in regards to their synergy drive system... they invented it,,, they have years of tech data that allows them to bring newer better systems faster than anyone. Peugeot may bring something to the market first but Toyota is and has been testing deisel hybrids for years...untill the greatest product is ready for release.

  • Honda !!

  • Tree huggers you guys keep going on about how we should all get hybrids. Let me tell you a little fact about the toyota prius. To make the special parts that make this prius so economical japan extracts minerals from a mine in Canada which are then put on a boat shipped to Europe its processed then sent to china were it is processed more and then to Japan for them to use it. Scientists proved that all this is in a priuses whole lifetime is more harmful to the enviroment then Hummer

  • That's not true. That story was started by a blog.

  • Not only is it not true, it is also a mute point. Or are all non-hybrids put together with play-doh from the local Toys-R-us?

  • American Made cars are not that good compare to a low end Japanese car. Speaking from fact and personel experiance

  • Do you really think we'll never run out of gas? We'll all suffocate before we even got close.

    By the way, how small exactly are LS 450h, Hylander hybrids, and Camry hybrids? They look quit large to me.

  • Did you know that car pollution account for less than about 2 % of hole in the ozone layer? (rhetorical)

  • What are you getting at?

  • GET IN THE PRIUS SAM!!!!!!

  • cool

  • cynclare: Get a life, troll. Don't call people "treehuggers hippies" (even though it doesn't technically make any sense). And anyway, no one told you to buy the car!

  • Then don't ever buy one.

  • one idea is that the next generation prius should run on milk... hahaha, why not?? in comparing milk to gaz, milk is now less expensive than gaz, it is a renewable source of energy, and also by injecting cows with various hormones can get them to probably double or triple their output... just an idea...

  • it would take many years to develope an engine that can run on milk. also assuming they did make an engine most of the milk on the earth would go into fuel. we would have less milk, cheese, and butter and resorses that come from milk, why not use water or salt water?

  • The Toyota Prius will do MORE enviormental damage in the long run then the Land Rover Discovery. You're wasting your money on a boring car people.

  • nothing beats the power of a v6

  • I think a V8 might beat it.

  • your the idiot who drowns while swimming drunk aren't you...

  • Jurys out on the volt looks a bit like a concept car or something from a Bstman film. However it is unique looking.

  • Hybrids have killed people in accidents, the batteries explode and they don't save gas! Hybrids dont work because they are liberal environmental. They need lots of repairs too. Better to wait for hydrogen and not doing anything until then. Hydrogen is made out of normal, regular fossil fuels so oil companies won't go bankrupt and hurt the economy and lose people's jobs. But if we buy hybrids, oil companies will lay everybody off and ipods will be too expensive. Think about JOBS not saving gas.

  • That's awful, I hope you get better soon. But frankly, "going out on a high" doesn't require getting a Hummer (and no, I'm NEVER getting one). BTW I said I'm NOT going to try to stop him. He doesn't seem to care that he's ruining the environment for everyone else. But there you go, some people just don't give a damn about others.

  • I'm feeling a lot better now must all the miles in the hummer. Look take my advice don't buy a tank (too much maintenance needed),save up your money and get a hummer instead. When you are driving it you are the king of the road and hippy tree hugging cyclists get out of the way.

  • I'll say it again: I'm not buying a Hummer as it's bad for the environment. I wouldn't have gotten a tank anyway (why would I need one?). At least TRY to be nice and quit referring to environmentalists as hippy tree hugging cyclists. How about this: I've told you that I'm not trying to change your beliefs, just to stop being rude to people who think differently, yet you continually post rude replies. My idea is that you don't reply, I won't reply, and we can quit wasting our time on (cont.)

  • (cont.) something that we won't reach any sort of agreement on. How about it? Just say the word, and this chain of comments can end. Say yes or no; nothing more.

  • It's selfish trendy tree huggers like you that can ruin peoples lives. If it wasn't for people like me then the farmers who grow bio fuel would have no jobs. Just think the people of south america stood around earning nothing while you and your friends link hands and chant about mother earth and some scabby whales. Whales are so useless they can't even breath underwater.

  • Oh, so you think whales should be exterminated? Now you listen to me: I'm not selfish, ("trendy"?!) and I'm ruining no-one's life. Just let's stop arguing, yeah? We're clearly not reaching any agreement, so let's just quit arguing! Don't insult me or environmentalists. I haven't insulted you at all. Just quit arguing!

  • Who's arguing? Why don't you try a nice juicy whale burger?

  • We are. I don't because I'm vegetarian and I would find that absolutely disgusting. I said: let's stop arguing.

  • Blooming veggies! You have a cheek going on about my hummer and tank being bad for the enviroment, vegitarians farts do more damage to the atmosphere.

  • I'm not being cheeky about it, they ARE bad for the environment, but as I previously told you, I'm not going to try to tell you what to do (and I still haven't, just said that theey're bad for Earth). BTW um, huh? Vegetarians and meat-eaters farts do the same ammount of damage, depending on the amount of air digested. And I don't judge me on being a vegetarian, I've had plenty of that for the past 21 months.

  • I don't have a "cheek" going on about that, they ARE bad for the environment (but for the fourth time, I'm not telling you how to live your life! Just giving facts!). And vegetarians and meat-eaters all do same damage, just depends on how much air they digested. And don't judge me for being a vegetarian, I've had enough of that for the past 21 months.

  • No veggie farts are more powerful. My brother was physically sick after one of your gang dropped one. Ohh by the way the guilty party did not admit to it. I don't know you preach on about saving the planet and your mob destroys it by guff power! Why are you a veggie anyway?

  • Look enough of this veggie, hummer, whale meat, thread lets talk Toyota. My brother is a thick, fat,idle, mong on an epic scale he drives a toyota yaris. He bought this car of dodgy Dave down the pub. My bro says the car cost 500 sheets and could I lend him the reddies so I did the decent thing and told him to...

  • "One of my gang"? What? Anyway, I don't know what would make you think that but whatever. And I don't preach. I'm a vegetarian because I find the abuse, mutilation and poor standards of animal treatment in slaughter houses to be revolting and downright sickening. And I already suggested we quit arguing, it's not like it's your idea.

  • I suggested we talk about Toyotas not quit arguing.

  • Whatever. I don't even have a car, I won't be 13 for two days. If money was no object, though, I would totally get a Chevy Volt. I'm not sure if it's been released yet. Actually, I'd probably get a hybrid SUV, for safety. What's your dream car?

  • Toyota Mega Cruiser wot you reckon?

  • Another reason I'd get a hybrid is because I wouldn't have to pay as much for gas. BTW Just curious, have you seen the Volt? If you ask me, it's pretty beautiful.

  • I already had my dream car. 1999 GMC Suburban 1500 SLT. Man that was a great car. When you wanted it to move, and you hit that gas pedal, that big V8 fuckin' went! And the brakes were great too. Smooth ride, plenty of space for everything, pretty damn good gas mileage for a suv of its size (16 or 17 mpg i think), extremely reliable, never broke down, never refused to start. Even after some dumb fuck in a, get this, Prius, ran a red light and T-boned me it still started up like nothing happened.

  • So what if he drove a Prius?

  • "tiny little piece of japanese shit," eh? Wow, you're cool! Anyway, who said they think it's safer? Besides, there are hybrid SUVs.

  • Whatever, I think they look nice.

  • "I already had my dream car. 1999 GMC Suburban 1500 SLT"

    its a SUV not a car

  • I doubt you'll stop spackwitt, he has cancer of the cock and balls thus giving him less than a year to live, so he's going out on a high. His hummer is amazing, he's just had it's seats covered with asian otter skin, feels and smells fantastic. We meet up every sunday, there is a gang of 23 of us locally and go out for a convoy in the hummers....why not get one, you'll love it.

  • Hey cumguzzlar high five to yo. Cancer of the cock and balls has cleared I have summat wrong wit throat I now have now got a bumhole in my throat bit like Scotty in 'Highway to Heaven' but wrightys de beeaking tool for t bords will sort that fucker out. Good party trick is smoking ciggies through the hole Thinking of getting the roof covered in Siberian tiger skin. Bad news about my tank a fuel drum fell off the back and rolled in a river resulted in s lot of dead fish and frogs but hey so what

  • No, spackwit, I really DON'T need to see you're car or your "tank" (which I doubt you have). That's really very sad that you don't care about the environment. You're leaving something bad behind for everyone else, but, I suppose you don't care about other people either! I'm sure I can't get you to stop driving your Hummer that you think is so great, but hopefully you'll quit posting offensive comments. How about it?

  • hey, did you know that if you stick your hand out of the window in a prius, the vehicle will turn???

  • That was in response to spackwit, when he said "I don't give a fuck about this planet."

  • I luv my Hummer especially the leckie windows so I can chuck out all the remains of my McDonalds meal out as I'm driving through town. If you think thats bad you should see what my T72 tank does. I hire it out for re enactment groups and the mess it makes as it churns up a field is staggering but you know me at my age I really don't give two hoots about the planet as my bum is giving me some grief at the moment.

  • Eh? What the fucks going on????

  • I must say, after much thought and research into the subject, and with the green factor on everyones minds at the moment i have finally decided the perfect car for me and the enviroment. As i live in london and do the school run (which can take up to 45 mins each way for for a 1/4 mile journey) , then it must be a Hummer.

  • A wise choice sir. I have one just so my wife can feel 'safe' in said motor. They don't do the planet any good this is true but as I'm 98death will surely be around the corner so I don't give a fuck about this planet.

  • Bad choice, actually. That was very offensive (but you knew that). It was pretty much a kick in the face to environmentalists. Don't do it again.

  • i`m sure, what is new in this car? or what is high tech?

  • I love my 2008 Prius! Best car in its class. One of the only cars on the market where the resale price can exceed the retail price. Toyota is struggling to keep up with demand!

  • It takes 113,000,000 BTUs of energy to build one of those futuristic pussy-mobiles called a Toyota Prius; 113,000,000 BTU's equals 1,000 gallons of gasoline. You could drive a 98 Toyota Tercel on that amount of gasoline for like 7 years. That means by purchasing an "eco-friendly" car, you are pissing away 7 years of driving in one fucking purchase. If you don't get 7 years of driving out of that hybrid piece of shit (which the warantee guarantees you won't) you just fucked Mother Earth.

  • So how many BTU's does it take to build a Hummer?

  • Don't they have ANY good designers at Toyota? Honestly, most Cars from Toyota just look freaking ugly. I mean they BUILD good cars, definately. But why are they lacking SO much in the design department? Either they just want to save a heckload of money in production, or they just don't have good designers. But that can't be true for the biggest car manufacturer in the world.

  • so what. its still better than living in the ocean?

  • Everything you have said makes sense besides:

    "so please ... knowing than a sports car has better mileage than a Prius"

    Umm I live in Canada, and more specifically in Sudbury where they mine nickel for these batteries... and It is absolutely devastating what they are doing to the area to extract the minerals.

  • Your comments are not only inaccurate, they are intellectually lazy. Since they also lack substance, your attacks turn personal. Grow-up junior.

  • Toyota is the BEST car in the world

  • nice and friendly to enviroment car :)

  • I'd rather walk than drive this piece of shit !. . i'm so sick of these small jap cars

  • Well, that's going to be one long walk to work whenever the gas prize gets insane.

  • the prius is as big as a toyota camry.

  • lets hear you say that a few years from now when the price of gas is substantially higher than it is now. Unless you're a typical "ignorant american idiot", you should know that the price of gas will only go up. Given the current US economic conditions, people will be buying smaller and more efficient cars. The Prius isn't really that small anyway.

  • great car and great technology and gas saver... but the primary reason why people buy this car is attention, just like a sports car. why would celebrities and rich people buy it is for one single reason..thet want to get noticed... period.

  • I just want to save gas. Why does the only car hat gets amazing milage have to look like the car a 50 year old middle school math teacher would drive.

  • great features but that car couldnt look uglier

  • Don't worry,
