OWNER INFLUENCE: Owners Influenced the New 2010 Prius

If they are really listening, then make the plug-in.

I agree, I want an EV mode capable of at least 50 mph for city driving.

Give me the Hybrid X concept! That represents a significant improvement to the Prius, not this one. Many very nice features, but not significantly improved form or function. Hurry up with the plug-in, while you're at it. The 17" wheels causes a loss in mpg?? What sense does that make? My '05 has 139k, just replaced my plugs and am riding on my 3rd set of tires. Other than that, not one problem that wasn't my fault. Winter mpg 43, Summer 47.5. Anyone else's mpg suffer like this?

I have an 04. I just started on my 3rd set of tires. The set that came with the car only lasted me 10,000 mi. I bought a really good set of Michelin and got over 42,000 mi. What surprised me was how much my around town gas mileage improved. I went from 34 to 38. I get slightly better in summer. My highway driving has remained pretty consistent at about 47.

143,432 miles on my 04 - ZERO problems, no joke. I *STILL* average 51 - 53MPG. 14 miles on Freeway about 65 average and 15 miles in city all one way to work. It's an awesome design - I have wished for over 11 years that American auto makers could step up to the plate, too sad...

94,000 + miles. 0 problems. 50 mpg. I saved a lot of money on gas. Thanks Toy.

I love my Prius and like to know that Toyota is listening to customers to make the car even better.

Worthless video.
There was what, one example of how Toyota reflected user input? (Something vague about feeling the buttons on the steering wheel).

Please say the '10 Prius isnt going to look like this. It looks like they are trying to make it look like a Camry or something. They don't need to do this. The current design is already leaving dealerships on backorder. It should look futuristic. The original artist renditions of the "rumored" new design looked kinda like a Lambo. That would kick butt. I would trade my 08 in for that design in a heartbeat. this just looks weird.

yeah thanks a lot Toyota, now i have a $35,000 Edsel you sold me a year ago, pretty nice of you to build something better.
