Best looking prius yet

Everything I read about the new Prius is very good. I heard they were sold out with at least a six month wait.

 

[COCA COLA COWBOY]

Yeah, I wanted to buy one, but no deals. Basically, they are $38k! HAHA, no thanks for an economy car.

they all want to do 65 in the carpool lane by themselves.

My parents just got one, it just came in. They are picking it up Tuesday.

They bought/ordered it 3 weeks ago and saved $3k over buying it in CA.

I wasn't sure what it was at first until it passed me and I saw the huge Prius decal on the aback. Definitely better looking than the prior years.

I saw one on the road yesterday, its certainly an improvement over the previous gens, looks wise at least.

if they didnt have those ridiculous wheel gaps all the new cars seem to have, it would be even better looking

The wheel well cladding needs to be painted body color for sure.

It was really a low bar...

someone told me the increase in the shitty black plastic cladding is due to some emissions deal? something with emissions generated from total car build?

I personally hate the stuff, and would love to not see any black plastic on the cars, it looks fine for two years and then you spend the rest of the cars life rubbing shit on there trying to make it look halfway decent.

That could be my golf car.

Top speed 115 and speed limiter kicks in.

You can say what you want I had one and I know a lot of Uber drivers using the probably one of the most reliable cars made in the world

I drove a 2012 model for 107,000 miles. Averaged 45 mph! Zero issues. When I turned it in battery lost 2% and breaks were at 70% left. Great little car.

Where did they order it from??

The yellow is not available from all the searching I did, I like yellow!

The yellow does look cool.

Stephen Wade Toyota in St. George.

They didn’t really have too much choice, The dealer had a white FWD Limited en route and that is what they took, as they wanted white or silver.

They actually have some horsepower now.

 

[Xtrmwakeboarder]

Looks pretty good

 

[rivermobster]

Yeah sorta...

What I've found is that what they do on these types of cars is ADD the HP at each wheel up.

So 300hp is actually 75hp per tire.

Marketing, marketing, marketing!!!

Power to weight is power to weight.

75HP to each tire is the same as 300HP to 4 tires, and will perform the same if the weight of the car is the same

Look at you guys getting excited about a Prius , my have times changed …

Can you explain why you this was a relevant piece of information?

 

[4Waters]

Saw one today, looks good. In-between a volt and a Tesla

 

[steamin rice]

That actually doesn't look bad at all

 

[LargeOrangeFont]

So I drove this thing yesterday. It actually looks good from most angles and is a nice car overall. The ride is great, the car is peppy, the steering was shockingly good, and the interior look and feel is really nice and comfortable. The seats and all leather surfaces are supple and soft.

This is the Limited spec, so it has heated and AC seats, bigger screen, better stereo, 360 degree camera, and I think the self driving stuff. The rear hatch is powered which is really good for my aging mom.

The glass roof is just kind of a gimmick. It does not open. My parents are going to get some good heat reflecting tint on the roof panels.

The black plastic fender cladding looks like it comes right off. I think they will get it painted body color, and my dad may put a replacement set of wheels on it in a lower offset.

I was pretty impressed. It is legitimately a good car.

 

[TCHB]

It will run for a long time!

The Prius has changed. It is now great looking and has decent power.

The weirdo formula no longer worked for Toyota when there were so many Prii on the roads. They had to do something different. This is the result.

 

[Markus]

If only there were a way to remove all the old Priuses. Particularly from the left lane of I5...

I’ve Never wanted, and have always made fun of Prius drivers. I’m probably gonna get a new Prius when we get one that’s not pre-sold. Nicely loaded for mid 30k and gets high 50 mpg. I sold and Pimped one for a client last week. Tinted the windows. De-badged, trick BBS style wheels. Killer little commuter car.
Having issues though with people over 6’ and anyone with wide shoulders! They cut the windshield down so low….. hard to get in and out for some peeps.

DONT keep any Hybrid over 150k ! Financial time Bomb!!!! Have seen some HUGE repair bills. When the tech starts failing….. cut bait and Run.

I hate those f'ing things with a passion . . . . that being said, they could've done a lot worse with that design.

I’m 6’3, dad is 6’5. Yea you do have to watch your head getting in. There is a A pillar blind spot to get used to as well, too, but all modern cars have that to some degree.
