Featured 120 mpg Prius Prime !

The thread title should said 120MPGe, that's the right expresion.

 

Uh Oh! Someone forgot to put their dentures back in. Here, let me fix it:

Easier to just close the mouth.

The front end reminds me of Predator.

But I do like the Prime front-end much more vs. the regular Gen4 front-end

 

I think overall, the Prime does look better overall.... autoblog said "...apparently the Toyota designers were not as happy with that look as they might have been...".

I like the new back end too.

Too bad about the 4 seat configuration. But glad to see that there will be a donut, unlike PiPv1.

As for the Predator comment, Toyota is tame compared to their Lexus counterpart grills.

 

It was so successful in the Volt.

exactly. maybe that's what they're shooting for.

 

C'mon, only a 4 seater !!!!...........just for my daily "solo" commute.

 

The GEN III was a 4-seater too, they just added a center seatbelt. You can not get 3 average sized US adults in the back seat comfortably.

 

Damn that's sweet


iPhone ?

 

true, but that's the whole point. now, the only thing you can squeeze in the is two cups and a luger.

 

It certainly a sweet commuter for long distance hauler. If you have to drive 100+ miles/day, this IMO is better than the Volt2.

Just too bad those with 3 kids family needs are written off.

More I looked at it, the more I am tempted to jump for one. Fixed most of the stuff I did not like for Gen4. Almost like Lexus version with a Toyota badge.

Just hoping gas prices stay low for another year so we can get this at major discount. Looks like there is about $3750 in IRS tax credit to help out... too bad not like Volt and their $7500 tax credit though.

Guess I will have to wait and see what Honda has coming as they promised. They said 40 EV miles range...
