You're all buying redundant technology Well this site thinks at least 9 of the technologies found in a Prius are redundant. (6,7,8,10,11,12,16,17,25) The 25 Most Redundant Car Technologies Repeats the diesel better than hybrid view. Uses Prius shots but never says the name. Seems to come from the view that if you can't feel the horse sweating between your thighs, you arn't getting a good ride.
Some of us think their attitude is their own worst enemy. Like teaching a pig to sing, it won't work and it annoys the pig. Bob Wilson
#1 What is it? #2 Agree #3 Agree #4 Yes the Acura had this throat slashing device. #5 OK that's stupid #6 Yes to the Mazda maybe the rest #7 Disagree on all points #8 My neighbors in AZ backed over their 3yr old with a dually pickup. #9 Just because you have the money to buy it doesn't mean you will ever have the skills to drive it. And some kids don't live long enough to find out. #10 BS Diesel's always cost more #11 Most people from where I'm from(planet earth) fail their driving test because they can't Parallel park. But OK that thing is not going to fix that either. #12 No we are not. Wayne I don't care what your FE is, your tailgating. #13 Yes when it's in auto mode you can have "sportier shift points" or you can put it in manual and do it yourself. Who's being redundant now? #14 See #9 and just add the clutch. #15 Not as many as you think and my cars cost more than my house altogether. No central AC either. #16 But Jeremy Clarkson just loved the new one. #17 MS Bing soon to be MS bang. #18 Left ear deafness from having the window down is very common. #19 Guess they never followed F1 back in the Senna days. #20 Not all of us are in the HOV lane, maybe we get lonely. #21 Small cars tight to the line by my rear wheels. Been lucky so far. #22 Deer!!!!!!!!!! Baby Deer!!!!!!!! Skunk!!!!!! #23 See #9 and #14 #24 The long and winding road. I see my pretty Alice in every headlight. Alice, Dallas Alice. #25 See #24
Re: You're all buying redundant technology I bought a Prius to replace my 1500 cc, 1999 Honda Valkyrie Interstate with 6 cylinders, 6 carbureters and 38 mpg for our 1 to 2 month road trips. I thoroughly understand "the horse sweating between your thighs." After over 88,000 miles riding this ... ... I switched to this ... At age 65, I need a little redundancy.
The night vision seems kinda cool, with the lights off and an electric motor, you can go undetected. Blind spot detection doesn't hurt either.
I was surprised that the "power window and door lock" were not on the list. I can compile my own list, which will be very different from that one. To each one's own. I love my rain sensing wiper. Mr.!
This was such a ridiculous article. You could use this argument to deem every bit of technology to be "redundant." For example, "The printing press is redundant. Humans are perfectly capable of expressing themselves through cave paintings." This standard does nothing to tell us whether these technologies are actually good.
I think 1/ is the car 'kitt' from the TV series Knight Rider. Patsparks You have to click on 'Next >>' in the small picture on the upper right.
So what? I think the web publisher misunderstands the meaning of "redundant." Cranking off on things you personally don't like isn't demonstrating anything but an opinion.
Web design is amateur and irritating. If the critic is high-tech-type guy, he has some learning to do.
Not a bad review considering how he drove it and what he was trying to compare it to. If you feel unsafe driving fast in heavy rain your driving to fast and at least you know it.
I've read that guy's writeups on cars and I actually think I can do a better job. His list was such a joke. Maybe we should make him drive a 1982 Corollla for a week. I'd think that'll make him happy. I'm all for redundancy. I'll ask the author if he doesn't like redundancy in the aircraft he flies either. What a schmuck!!!
Looking at his review of the Prius, well, it was a review - no better or worse than average. I was personally impressed by the average intelligence level of the comments on the site. Most places around the net seem to have countless users going out of their way to bash and spew hate in the direction of the Prius. The majority of those commenting recognized the car for what it is, and didn`t toss around comparisons to sports cars or the power of an SUV, etc. People making that comparison were called out on it fairly quickly. I thought that site looked to have a really good community - people who care about cars even if it`s not the type of car they would drive.
It nice to be number 1. Someone actually wants to write something negitive about you. It's a Toyota, The leader in the Automotive world and the drive to go where no man has gone be for.
