Starting to see a bit more. Yesterday I saw a Blue Mag and a Mag Grey. The day before, there was a white commercial/business and a silver. Side note, saw my first 2019 Prius AWD on the road. It does say "Premium package plus: ... " so everything the Premium package plus the contents of the Touring package.
Hopefully if that’s the course of action, he puts the garage queen up for sale here. I know it’d garner a fair bit of interest .
Congrats! I know the kiddos will enjoy it too! They seemed to like the advanced. As far as your commute, I use EV auto when I’m doing my 21 mile commute. I let the engine warm up with HV mode on surface streets before I even get to the highway. Then I switch it to EV Auto. My 43 mile round trip usually nets me around 138 mpg each way if I’m not speeding excessively.
They did like your advanced, but that’s a lot more tech than I’m used to. When I drive the wife’s RX450h, let’s just say I keep it between the lines and don’t use 1/4 of what is available, except for the heated / cooled seats. Thanks for sharing your commuting strategy. I’ll give that a shot as I have 1 mile before I am on the freeway in each direction. Just don’t want to wake a stone cold engine up to 75 mph commute fun. Looking forward to the purchase though.
That’s if it came below the 49th parallel . It won’t be on my account that it would anyway as a new blue Prius is on the horizon .
Ummm. Parts of Canada are below the 49th parallel. I am originally from Toronto which is DEFINITELY not part of the US. from 49th parallel north - Wikipedia OR did you mean this?? 49th parallel south - Wikipedia
Since @Mendel Leisk is on the best coast side of the North American continent, the 49th parallel is appropriate, at least in my mind .
One of te members of my staff has a 17 advanced in the winter gray metallic, and he hasn’t bought gas in months. Won’t be my case, but still better than the 50 mpg I average in our 2010. And I got him converted from an 04 GMC Sierra.
I’ve only heard coal rollers being referenced in regards to the diesel crowd, and they are a harder bunch to convert. The gas guys are a challenge, but some can be swayed when you share the mpg and reliability . Once the Prime is charging up near our building, I’m sure I’ll be asked and then we’ll see how more I get .
You would think we should be able to convert the diesel guys based on the fact that they have to change so much oil when they do an oil change. I wanna say the Ford 6.7 L Power Strokes take something in the range of 8 quarts. But they say they NEED these large vehicles as toy haulers.
