What I hate most about my 2019 Prius LE

no wonder it's not coming to the land of the brave and home of the suv's

 

Kind of surprised we haven't seen a design in response to the oil glut.

"Yeah, it's got two hemis."

THE NEW TWIN-ENGINE RAM 25000

with available first-in-class exterior air conditioner for ultimate summer tailgating!

 

It'll be interesting. Seeing FORD has canned the Ford FOCUS RS for 2020 - but the smaller, Yaris sized Fiesta ST is getting rave reviews.

 

me neither. i liked the old ct200h looks, but too small and poor mpg's

 

DITTO!! I am irrevocably spoiled.

 

currently driving a gas vehicle (PHEV) also hoping not to own another

 

I honestly entered the Prius market in 2019 planning on buying one of the really cool Prius station wagons I was seeing around town. Learning about its demise threw me for a loop, and forced me to go shopping the Kia Niro, as well as other options.

What it came down to was the the Gen4 Prius hatch back was just enough for my needs (I took items over to the dealership to see if they'd fit into the back with the seats down), and the Prius had the most generous driver's door entry design out of any car or smaller SUV I tried (which was shocking in and of its own - if I have to bend my neck and spine to get into the car or small SUV you want to sell me, then I don't want to buy that car).

 

Coming in 2021. The Sienna hybrid. Maybe this will fill in for the "Prius Wagon".

 

Yes, and I think it's because the roofline at the point of entry for the driver is quite high - supposedly for aerodynamics. The odd time I've got in the back (to vacuum or buckle the dog or grandchildren in, I notice the back roof height is lower.

 

That peak over the lap-area means a more generous top-of-seat-cushion to bottom of the top door-sill space for entry for all of us. I was bracing to have to buy the more expensive RAV4 hybrid, but it's door ingress was much like the Corolla's, so I ruled it out.
