    I like the Gen 4 better than the previous model. But I would have gone for the Gen 3 if that was what was being sold. In other words, the looks didn't quite make the sell for me. Yes, they were part of it, because I like it fine. But the lithium ion battery pack was a larger plus for me. I also wanted all the gizmos in this purchase and I feel like I finally am happy with the toys. I've always had just the base model of anything I've ever had. I always purchased all the options for my spousal person. He got three Harleys, two pick em up trucks and two cars out of me. Now he's gone and it is my turn, by golly!

    It could look like the F Pace and then you'd be in real trouble.

    Okay , gave it some time. I have 3 Categories for my Cars

    1. Lux Sedan 4 Door
    2. Lux Sport 2 Door
    3. Daily Driver , Economical

    I put my New Prius in the 3rd , and by far its the best looking out of any Car on the market for it size.
    I just gave it clean wash and wax , and when you really look at the lines you can see its amazing and they pop

    Now to that extent , I am still a 2 lux Coupe at heart.
    So the plan is to Pay this puppy off before 2 years allowing both BMW and BENZ to get there act right.

    The 15/16 M4s will be a steal in 2017 , however the interior is depressing
    The New AMG 63 Coupe still needs to gets it wheels wet before I fork over 74K

    So again , Prius it is.....waaaa hoo.

    OH! were the (*^(*^&)%_) are my new license plates??? tired of these paper inserts.

    last thing, holly friggin molly ....this thing struggles going up hills....ugh :(

    I want to see a lighter colored Prime with body coloring all over the front end rather than the blackout treatment. I bet it would be an improvement.

    Howard, just wondering whether you plan to review the Plugin version of the 2016 Prius and if so whether you have been given a date when there will be one available for you to drive?

    Yeah, it really looks great after a wax job.... until the very next day and my white paint is already getting dirty again! :ROFLMAO:

    Take those stinkin' paper plates off! That's the FIRST thing I did before I even got home from the dealer. (Just personal preference. I don't need to give the dealer free advertising.)

    My Prius does really great going up hills. I was surprised. All you gotta do is press the pedal down further. Unless you are in PWR mode, and then you just barely touch the gas pedal. :D
