    I was amazed with the new Prius commercial with its solar powered cooling system through the roof! Anyone have one of these? I want one now...

    I honestly believe the the solar roof could have served a better purpose rather than help power the cooling system, it could help recharge the battery.

    i was amazed by the self-parking package and when it detects your driving over the edge of the lane, it will steer you back in the right position...for the price of the $40,000+ model of the Prius -_-2

    Lexus probably use the premium type gas whereas Prius will use the basic grade; those add up a lot if you fillup every week; also the maintence fee will be higher as well;
     
  8. for that money u can get an M3, if your buying a $40k car then fuel wont really be an issue.

    An M3 is closer to 90 thousand dollars....

    also, Lexus already has the HSV, which is just a prius in a luxury package for those with little taste and too much money. If i was going hybrid and buying a lexus i'd get a GS450h.

    Nothing is really wrong per se with the Prius... but for the money i'd rather get a Honda Insight. Less gas milage but much less ugly.
     
  11. ^ both are ugly imo........ lol

    apparently to create the batteries for these hybrids is a process which creates alot of pollution lol
