    2017 Toyota Prius Prime Release Date, Specs and Price | Gospelherald.com

    One thing that caught my eye..."the battery can propel the car for up to 22 miles at 84 mph".

    Say what? That reads differently, what if my commute is averaging 60 mph? Does that mean I'll score 28.6 miles (~30% more)? Wow that's cool. So I can hypermile this baby to 35 miles EV like the Volt 1?

    That's just poor writing combining two points of data in one sentence. And here's more including poor English grammar, "The 2017 Prius Prime also have seating for five people and a hatchback for cargo, providing plenty of usable space."

    This isn't surprising coming from a gospel site.

    I suppose your post is irony?

    >> Old info with wrong specs. Forget about "EV range 22 miles at 84 mph". Only EPA figures apply.

    The article was click bait. The title was deceptive as no new info was offered, including the release date or the prices. Just a stupid waste of time. I wonder if it wasn't written by a computer program, and even then - a very stupid one at that.
