    If Prius means to go before, why have the powers that be put the Prius Prime (which falls after Prius alphabetically) above the Gen 4 in the forum index? My muscle memory is reluctant to scroll down over so many new Prime Threads to reach what used to be just 2 threads below the Newbie forum. Have I got grounds for a refund d'ya think. I have heard that in USA they sue you for less cause than that!

    When sueing it is Importent to choose someone who can pay. I think this suit is doomed.

    How about if you add the following link to your favorites/bookmarks bar

    Gen 4 (2016 to Current) Toyota Prius Forums | PriusChat

    This would be the equivalent of settling out of court

    Newest is at the top (which is why the c and v divide the Gen 3 and Gen 4 sections.)

    Thanks for the explanation Tideland. I was only being flippant while bored and waiting for the heating engineer to call for the annual system check. Good to know my humour/humor is appreciated by some transatlantic cousins, but not my wife.

    I'm sure there are plenty of other redeeming qualities she appreciates more than we do;).

    Not only do you have a just cause, and a sound legal case but I believe that Danny has some financial exposure on this issue!!

    However (comma!)
    Since PC has provided me with so many hours of entertainment and information over the last 6 years, I'd like to offer to cover the actual damages in this case.

    So......since the UK no longer uses the half-penny, I will require change for a penny. ;)

    To Go Before...can mean so many things.

    When I was a kid, "To Go Before" was what my parents wanted me to do before we left on a long road trip.

    You know, when Toyota started changing trim designations on a yearly basis, Prius two..not Prius II.....and then added Prius v, Prius c...now Prius and Prius Prime, not to forget the original Prius Plug In.
    I can never remember whether I'm suppose to capitalize the letter, write out the number, or what other enigma machine code I'm suppose to apply to figure out what Prius exactly we are talking about.

    I just pretty much gave up.

    I use to tell people I owned a "regular" Prius. Most people did not question this.

    When I'm here? I can usually divine which member of The Prius Family we are talking about.
    I have accidentally offered the wrong advice in the wrong forum...and when this happens I'm routinely helped out in a friendly manner by my fellow Prius Chat participants that will point out that I've been drinking diet soda out of aluminum cans for too long, and I don't know the difference between my PiP and my Pop.

    If Toyota continues to expand the Prius Family? At some point I don't know how you do it. There is going to be no easy way to keep it all organized.

    Next one could be the Prius EV, or e, or Gen 5e, fully electric, due out 2020 maybe, with solid state batteries that charge in minutes.

    Well what's after Prime?

    Assuming "Prime means best" (press release) and some will consider a Prius EV better than a Prius PHEV... so...? :unsure:

    Interesting. Here, I thought Gen 4 was newer than the PiP.
    Thanks for correcting me on that. :LOL:

    Click the flag on the top right until it takes you to your alerts page (for me it's more than one click). It shows you new posts on your watched forums and when people quote you. For me it's the gen 4, gen 2, and Prime forums.

    I know mine's a lousy joke when I feel I have to explain it, but seriously, thanks for the help.
