2010 Pricing announced for The Netherlands

thats a big disapointment

the basic version is without cruisecontrol ( not even a option ) and the price for that unit is the same then the current base model.

i expected a cheaper base model to go against the honda insight
buth when you now want a basic model with the basic stuff ( you need cruise control )
then you need to spent a few 1000 more then before.

i wanted to have the adaptive cruise control but for that i need to buy the fully loaded prius.
no option on the middel or lower model..... shame.

and only 5 year HSD warranty for a max of 100.000km????????????? what the F#ck?
can not believe this... its the lowist worldwide?
why......

 

THANK YOU!!!!:rockon:

 

oh no, not at all, quite happy here!!!

That's not a problem. It happened with the current model, and still you can ask a Toyota mechanic to fit you the cruise control, it's quite cheap, I can give you the final price and even the part numbers if you want

Wait a minute... you get the same level of equipment, a brand new car with a lot of new features, a new engine, new HSD, a lot more power, better fuel economy... all for the same price as the current one, and you think this is bad!?!?!? Hum???

No way! The Prius 2010 kicks Insight a*s by far, they are NOT in the same league, how can you compare both? What you have to compare is the price difference, and consider if it is worth the difference or not.

Errr... this is exactly the same as before... is it not? Where did you hear more? Ah wait... it was 160.000 km before I think... is that it?

 

so where your from the base model did not get cruise control?
wel over here the base model got cruise control standard

and the price is not the same its higher
the base model now not getting cruise control is the same price for the current model with it.
that the HSD is smaller is no reason for making it more expensif
i think the time's we live in right now must call for cheaper and not more expensif cars.

i do not compare the inisight with the prius i ony want to point out that people here in the netherlands that drive a car from work (lease ) need to pay tax becasue that car is seen like a income. and you have to pay private tax for a car you get from work ( lease )
this tax is % based and you get a tax discount for hybrid cars
when you get a cheapr hybrid you still get that tax discount but because ist % when you buy a cheaper hybrid you pay less tax.

i hope you can follow it.

you see a high grow of prius on the road and civic IMA just because this tax discount and not because people want to drive the car.

then people only look at the price. and then the insight give's them less to pay for tax and a workable car for doing work related drive's
so the cheaper the car the less tax you have to pay

before it was 8 years and 160.000km just like all over the world ( beside some state's in the US )
this is for a lot off people the reason not to wurry
if toyota is going to cut that then people may think wy... is toyota not trusting the new design? ( not that this is the fact i am only thinking what people may think )

wy not just give the 8 years again and 160.000km is toyota afraid for something? ( again not my thinking but general public that are not well now with the prius HSD...i think )

 

OK, I get it, but that's not something you can blame the car for.
It's like wanting a Tesla to cost the same as a golf cart...

Absolutely true, I was mis-remembering things.
Yeah, it is strange... why are they backing up on warranty?

 

prates didnt i tell you what to expect?
Base price - checked
17 wheels on all but base model - checked

 

well tell us how your insight goes dude, what can we say .
You cant expect for 2 cars in completly different class (in every possible way) to cost the same. It is like expecting Yaris sedan to cost the same as Avensis... Prius is more affordable than I thought it would be.

In fact, our market wont be geting base version at all.

 

no no read again
base model 15inch and all the modes with the sunroof.

what i hooped for was that there would be more options to select instead of the packs your have to take if you want adaptive cruise control..

i really wanted that but this fully loaded car is to mutch

 

No quite spwolf... not only the price list was not released just a few weeks before release, it was most surprisingly released BEFORE the USA market had released their pricelist!

But I'm sure glad you had the price (value) part right!!! :rockon:

EDIT: The 17" part is still being discussed here: http://priuschat.com/forums/2010-toyota-prius/59854-15-17-wheels-3.html#post820298

 

i think dutch are special ... most markets wont get pricing anywhere soon.

 

if you look at the pricing, what mid to top level equipment is basically same price as before, you just get a lot more of car and features for the same money.

and top version sans leather and active cruise/precrash is actually wow priced...

 

i dont want the leather....

and i just called a honda dealer just te be sure what honda is doing and the insigh gets 8 years, 160.000km

so i hope this document thats out before any officiel news is only a one that still needs some editing.

 

I sure hope so!

 

It looks like a pre-release version, because it lacks almost all the consumption and CO2 information!

 

Can you please check the warranty information with him?

 

All prices include:

* 3 year manufacturer's warranty (up to 100,000 km)
* 5 year manufacturer's warranty on the Toyota Hybrid Synergy Drive ® system including the battery (up to 100,000 km)
* 12 years full body warranty,
* 3 years lakgarantie,
* 3 year Toyota Euro Care (24-hour mobiliteitsgarantie Toyota at home and abroad).

Google is your friend, Toyota apparently is not... so much...

Why on earth are they reducing the warranty from 8 years/160000km to 5 years/100000 km !?!?!?!?

Lame move!
