Is Gen III optimal ? Until the root cause is known (or disclosed by Toyota), no one can be sure.
One can turn left if you can do so safely even when there's "oncoming traffic", this is not in violation of the ROW traffic laws. Of course, no...

There's no surface which is completely frictionless. The whole point of traction control is to utilize available (however small) friction as well...
What exactly is the change in Gen III which addresses this problem ? [/I]
What does Toyota say ?
A clutch based transmission would help, don't you think ?
VSC systems prevent the vehicle from under/over steering.
The Prius stalls because it only has a one-speed transmission. Traditional transmissions do a great job of matching engine performance with the...
