I'm driving the 2016 Prius next week. What do you want to know?

great vid terrell, thanks! reminds me of bill the engineers project.

 

I want to know the power at the wheels vs. Gen3. That's where it matters.

 

Thanks, video has nice details, wish the explanation was in english!

 

Bill the engineer could have saved himself a lot of cutting if he just had the Prius they show in the video!

 

I think that's the top of the rear suspension shock tower?

 

I still won't know anything until I sit in one and drive it, so tomorrow's release will only tell me, hopefully, what the price and options are going to be.

 

is this the kind of media event where toy would release pricing and packages? i would think they would be too concerned about loose lips. in fact, it might be all over the net by now.

 

usually those are done 1 month before car goes on sale... or similar.

 

Does it ends at midnight?

 

12 AM PST, 11hrs from now?

 

Yes, this has already been answered.

 

coffee and scones with danny tomorrow morning. c'mon, get with the program.

 

I'll bet he has already all ready with finger on a click post button.

 

6 hours to go... Yay! 7pm Australian EDT!!

SM-G900I ?

 

There are already first drive articles on AutoBlog and autobild.de

"... But when you add in a similar stretch of more stop and go driving and some winding roads, our total for 48.8 miles was 57.3 mpg."

"Beschleunigung und Höchstgeschwindigkeit sind gleich geblieben, das Gewicht hat um zehn Kilo zugelegt." - acceleration and top speed are the same, 10 kg more weight

" die jetzt präzisere Lenkung und das in acht virtuellen Gängen gestaffelte stufenlose CVT-Getriebe" - 8 virtual gears

"das unwirsche Aufheulen des Motors als Reaktion auf nachdrückliche Gaspedalbefehle ist Vergangenheit, ..." - GoogleTranlate: the surly roar of the engine in response to vigorous accelerator pedal commands is past ...

"Das niedrigere Geräuschniveau und die entspanntere Übersetzung dürften die Langstreckentauglichkeit deutlich verbessern." - Lower noise levels

 

Is it possible to remotely open all windows ?
It would be a bit sad removing the solar roof without at least giving us a small alternative !
Remote opening for all windows and sun roof would be one I could think of !

BTW : What about an open question thread ?
I have so many,I don't know where to start !

Q: Is 2016 Prius going to be available to sit in or be roped off and closed up?

Toyota list of cars just says 'Prius', no model years given. Same for Toyota test drive, no model year,

Does anyone know about the above or is my post just going to be ignored?

 

i don't think remote opening of windows is even on toyota's radar. is that a european thing?
