The Gauntlet is Down: Toyota Drops Prius Price in Japan to Match Honda Insight

Is Toyota hell bend on killing of 2010 Insight like they did with the predecessor?

 

They should be. The first Insight was hideous - I forgot how ugly it was until I saw it a few weeks ago. Now they pretty much stole the Prius design (look). Who are they trying to fool anyway? Anyone with 1/10 of a brain knows what a Prius looks like and they will know Honda is just copying them now. I hated the prius's look, but I'm willing to overlook that aspect considering how great it is in terms of MPG.

Long story short, hopefully Toyota will think this time around "First you made an ugly car, now you stole our look so in the words of Dolph Lundgren 'I must break You!'"

 

The only high tech I want is all under the bonnet. I don't mind if it hasn't got a radio, I can fit a radio myself for a few hundred. I would like airconditioning though. Wouldn't even worry me if my Prius has wind down windows in the back, I never wind them down anyway.

 

You'll pay extra for that, Pat! Several months ago, I tried to find a cell (mobile) phone without a camera. There may have been a couple, but they weren't of a high enough quality to purchase. The salesperson told me that Blackberry had one available. It was one of their top models, but if I wanted it without the camera I'd have to make it a special order and pay more than twice the regular price!!

You'll just have to forget about trying to reach into the back seat to wind down that window and suffer with the electric controls right under the fingers of your right hand.
