'10 Prius


ANTAUS

Recommended Posts

seems like everything was improved on the prius, except for the tail lights. wtf happened to those?

 

i wonder if the ride feels a little more real this time around. the last one was a freaking bore

 

The Autoblog article I read said it had a better ride, IIRC.

 

Yeah, the taillights got larger and more deformed than before.

 

You know, I saw a black Prius once with black wheels and blacked out taillights (can't remember if the headlights were too). It actually didn't look too bad.

From the front it looks more like a real car finally. The back looks like I Photoshopped a previous gen with the free transform tool and my mouse slipped.

 

Anyone else think the front looks a TON like a Honda? I never liked center mounted instrument clusters either. Hated them on the Echo, hate them on this too.

I've never been a fan of it either. I can understand why it's done, but it still looks silly when you have nothing behind the steering wheel but a blank dash panel. The Lexus 250h has a more traditional layout.

 

I read a few more reviews, and I was surprised that Toyota has an optional 17in tire package. Throw some sticky rubber on there and the driving experience won't feel as if you are playing Mario Kart.

I think they're on the Yaris too...

What is the point of having the guagues in the center? I agree in hating that.

I'd be interested in one as a commuter vehicle if a case could be made for it financially.

 

I'm not especially a fan of Toyota, but if I was buying a car full of new technology like a hybird vehicle, I'd only buy from the market leader who has the most experience with it.
