What would you replace your Prius with?

The 2012 or when ever it comes out... Plug-In Prius

 

Definitely a plug-in Prius!! Most likely after they figure out lithium batteries.

 

Long story short: owned Mitsubishi Mighty Max 20 yrs.
Traded in on a 2008 Prius.
I am 78 years old
Next vehicle???

 

I'm with "warrior", although I'm only 66. Do you guys really want 80-year-old doing the p&g down the highway?
Well - maybe I'm with Tony - if there's any money left in my stock fund when the plug-in comes out and someone promises to love Fiona like I do (and has some cash to prove it), I could be persuaded to go for the plug-in.

 

Because I have significant City mileage, in no particular order:

• Lexus 250h
• Ford Focus hybrid
• Camry Hybrid
• 2010 Prius

Don't forget to leave this part out:

 

An all electric vehicle (in the works) and a hybrid which uses electricity only for X number of miles and then gasoline.
The EV will be for commuting, the extended range hybrid will be for longer trips (unless they figure out how to 'quick charge' an EV, in which case we will have two).

 

Again I must compare like with like: the stated mileage is 54.7mpg on EU NEDC test. The current Prius gets 65.7mpg, the 2010 car reportedly 72.4mpg.

VW already have many other models - including the Jetta TDI - which get better returns than this.

 

The VW Bluesport Roadster concept has a 180 HP engine, goes 0-60 in 6.2 seconds and tops out at 140 mph. Fuel economy is not the top priority of this car.


To answer the OP, I would like to replace my Prius with an electric vehicle with a range of 60 to 100 miles. However, I have no reason to replace the Prius any time soon.

If no EV's are available then I will look for the highest fuel economy used car that meets my needs. I don't care if that car is diesel, CNG, hybrid, etc. I would prefer to buy it from a US manufacturer that builds the vehicle in the US.

 

What will be available in 2019?

 

I'm thinking more like 2024, presuming I actually do replace my 1986 Accord with a Prius this year.

 

For me the choice would be that
"under testing" 2 seater, Mitsubishi electric vehicle---the egg shaped one---

or keeping my current prius until it dies

A plug-in hybrid - once they get the battery figured out, achieve a 50 to 60 mile range and the the cost is reasonable. This may sound like a lot to ask for, but hey, I have a Prius, and it should easily last until the plug-in comes to fruition.

 

At this point, there is no way I'd replace my 2004 Prius with anything but a PHEV-50 or better. Or more probably I'm going to get a pure EV as soon as I can and rent a hybrid for the occasional out of town excursions. I have no idea what make or model it will be and that really bugs me!! Of course I have to earn back the $50,000 lost in the markets before I do anything. Doh!

 

I'd replace my 2006 with a real production, full-featured EV in a heartbeat. That's what I wanted when I was "forced" to buy the Prius, in fact. The Prius is just a place-holder for a real car at this point. I love the car... everything about it except that it burns gas for no valid reason that I can figure.

I've got my eye on the Tesla S.

 

Maybe Fisker's family sedan will be the one. If available in Canada.

 

Plugin Prius; HiHy; Plugin HiHy, in that order.

 

Old Prii never die. They just need more lovin'. Batteries, motors, and engines can always be updated with newer technology over the years, as long as the body remains sound. And when Old Silver's past that point, I'll half-bury him in the yard, and turn him into a greenhouse. Maybe by the time even that rusts away, humanity will recognise the harm it's causing the life that sustains it, petrochemicals will be banned toxins, and I'll be forced to ride my bicycle everywhere I go. Or maybe walk.
