@Wehiremonkeys Will it? It’s a heavier car yes, but new tech (especially EV tech) can likely help fill most of the shortcomings. I don’t think it’s as definite as you’d think.
I’d genuinely buy one of those used in a few years, then spend a ton of time and money gutting out the regular I4 and slapping in a modern iVTEC, fully wired into the hybrid system, and tastefully putting on small Type R badging on it with sport suspension and slotted disc brakes all round. A pipe dream of mine.
I drove the older model Prius a few times and it felt very similar to driving a golf cart. When I came to a red light the engine would not idle and it was too quiet. It took some getting used to because I kept feeling like it had stalled.The engine comes back on when you use the gas pedal just like the golf carts do.
Doesnt sound great till you figure its 32k and making 58mpg
Best manufacturer why wouldn’t it be 🤡
@Angel Valdovinoshe’s complimenting it lol
To get you hooked on “electric” vehicles.
Once there 100%, they can turn off you car, house, heat, credit card, etc.
Get a Tesla for 39k WAYYYY faster and 150 mpge.
Its not even fucking close. Not to mention it drives itself and you dont have to buy gas or oil
@Tru Doughtake your meds
I love the redesign. The last Gen was one of the ugliest cars ever made.
I’d stick with the subaru ngl
A modified WRX will still murder that around a track then dance on the body.

@WehiremonkeysAbsolutely no one is surprised a WRX would beat a Prius on track, if that’s what you’re saying.
Cool
for once the prius is something I can see most people driving willingly
WTB [Toyota Prius Prime] 220p

In the wrong direction 😢
THISSSSS
Took them 20yrs to achieve the power of an actual good car…
Wow, has more acceleration and horse power than my current car lol
2 litre?
Nice looking car..looks better than any tesla
They’re like $45 k, if you get the high trim, solar roof pkg, and sun dries.
Wait wait wait… more on the Subaru please
The Prius is one of the best utilitarian cars ever imagined. Love the new body
That hp would have been great for a v6 sedan just 15 20 years ago.
I cant imagine the amount of saliva droplets that spits out when u say ur first “This”

125hp? That’s a good car in my country. We have vehicles under 100hp used as people carriers.
