The reviewer kept criticizing it.
Said it felt "Prototypey"...well that's because it IS a prototype.

Also feels low to the ground?
Take a ride in almost any Non-SUV vehicle and it's going to feel low to the ground. Then a lot of people are going to try to lower it even more...

Who know's what product actually ends up making it to production? But I appreciate the attempt here.

The fuel consumption stats would demand I take notice.

Iron out the obvious bugs and show me again.

 

a freaking crank window?? ya kidding me?

 

noise should be able to be dampened by lightweight insulation....our '06 Prius is incredibly noisy, so much so the wife and I don't really carry on long conversations while driving, and one other note, I test drove a mid 2000's toyota 4 wheel drive pickup that was so quiet inside I felt really bummed getting back into my noisy Prius!!
