Does this make you drool or what?

Here are a few pics from the Plug in Prius display at Detroit this week. Toyota had a nice display. When I was at the display, there wasn't anyone who knew any details about the car, so I have no extra infromation to report.

 

somebody should make a sticker that looks like that access door on the fender

 

oh, so yeah, I'm drooling.............

 

Re: No. I think a dope-slap is desperately needed.

kiss nice person!!!!

 

I know most of the folks on PriusChat desperately want a Plug-in-Prius.....


......but who nicked the doors!

 

Well that's what you want isn't it? You want us drooling like Pavlov's Dog at every upcoming advancement and rumored incarnation of The Prius.

Well I'll tell you, I resist manipulation. So why don't you buggers brown bag it or take a nice harmonious walk to lunch?

It's like when I was in 4th grade, I had a teacher that would catch kids chewing gum in class. When she had caught someone chewing gum she'd loudly question "Do you have enough gum to share with the whole class?" When the answer was inevitably "No" then the offender was made to spit the gum out infront of the whole class in the garbage can.

I once bought a big bag of gum, hid it in my desk, then purposely chewed a piece as loudly and obnoxiously as possible. When she queried "Do you have enough gum to share with the whole class?" I returned with a confident, "Yes, I've got a whole bag here. Should I pass forward or back?".

Needless to say the note to my parents was not cryptic, however the rules were made more plain, it was no longer a matter of sharing but simply that we did not chew gum in class. I lost a weeks worth of allowance and a large bag of gum but became class legend for a year. A good investment IMO.

Moral of The Story, If you don't have enough Prius to share with the whole class, keep it quiet.

 

No it's not, it's the current one.

The previous one did not have the access door on the front left side, and you can see the new Li-Ion battery on the trunk, wheel caps, front, etc, etc.

This is no 2G PHV, this is undoubtedly a 3G PHV.

 

For just a 5Kw-hr? Lithium battery pack, it looks awfully large? An interesting photo would be the new Lithium PHEV battery pack next to the existing 1.3 Kw-Hr NIMH battery.

 

I'd call it Electric Blue

 

A few questions:
1) Does it use the same electric motor as a Gen III?
2) I remember Toyota saying that they ruled out Li-Ion batteries - guess not.
3) Can it be retorfitted to a Gen II?

 

its not nice,... not nice at all




yes ia m jealous.. happy now?

 

You can swing by and pick me up, too... I'll sit in the back with Hill, no problem!

I like Thai food. Can we go get Thai food?

 

Thanks. Looks to be about a 3:1 size ratio. Since the Lithium battery is 5kw-hr and the NiMH battery is 1.3kw-hr, I was expected the lithium battery to be smaller since the energy density of of a lithium battery is much higher than a comparably sized NiMH battery.

 

we could call it "renewable blue"

"clear sky blue" (no pollution)

"fresh air blue"

"organic blue"

 

That isn't fair!!! you know people in the company!!!
