New Prius
- Thread starter toyotaguy
- Start date
It is sharp, wonder why they didn't make it like this to begin with, afraid people wouldn't notice it as a hybrid maybe? Nice car!

Not a fan of the 'set me apart' styling.
Nice car, I wish I can afford it.
Not enough content for the price.
got rid of the rubber bladder gas tank and went with a more conventional fuel tank . Must be many previous PRIUS owners complained of the the long , inaccurate fills that made it difficult to get your gas mileage and match to computer . The '07 PRIUS we owned was a big pain to fill all year round . May have to reconsider getting another in a year or 2 . :- )

2010 TOYOTA Prius vs. 2010 HONDA Insight . Go to : http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/Drives/Comparos/articleId=144926 . Let the battle / debate carry on . ;- )
we would get mileage in the mid 30's during the coldest days of winter . During warmer days would get around 49 miles per gallon overall . Managed 99.9 m.p.g. after a fillup at east end of town into our garage on the other end of town . Hit lights just right and very little traffic through the heart of city/town . Was fun to drive due to the computer and the who would get the better mileage . She could never top that . :- )

I like this Prius better than the previous, but my choice would be the 2010 Fusion Hybrid; beautiful, midsize, 41 mpg around 27,000.

http://www.fordvehicles.com/cars/fusion/I like the new styling. Now the Honda-Toyota hybrid wars will start. When fuel goes back to $3-4 per gallon everyone will want one. So, now is a good time to get one as the price will only get higher as the US dollar sinks.

we should see prices drop as more hybrids hit the market . Thing is may see gas powered vehicles trade in value drop as more hybrids are on the streets . So , it's a bit of a wash . May want to consider getting a hybrid within a few years due the most likely decline in trade / resale value . It's a cr*p shoot .
