at least the ultrasonic stuff would work rain/snow/dark/light etc.

On my Leaf, not very well.
I lose my lane departure in heavy rain or if I drive towards the sunset.

I lose my emergency braking in heavy rain/snow.

it's funny that under weather conditions you need it most, stuff fails to work.

it's the same with "eyesight" on my forester. even a little fog on my window when defrosting and it loses it completely.

I've been considering one of those for ages now. Are they as fun as the ICE powered mini's?

Can you drive like a proper BMW dickhead in it?

I miss my JCW... but I don't miss the fake engine noise and fake pops.

You're at the mercy of Elon basically

Badhobz 11-14-2022 04:16 AM


I can't imagine this guy not trying the other pedal for over 2km while actively trying to dodge shit

That video will encourage people to buy Tesla at an accelerated rate (no pun intended.)

Badhobz 11-14-2022 07:53 AM

unintended acceleration, autopilot that doesnt work, panel gaps, sunroofs that fly off, doors that dont open, fire fire fire explosion, fire

nothing can phase people from buying these damn things. they'll still sell like hotcakes.

whitev70r 11-14-2022 08:20 AM

maybe you will get a free year of verified Twitter account with purchase of Tesla.

Details spilling out on the Macan EV. Slightly bigger than current Macan and has a frunk so room for people and their stuff improves. The current Macan is too small for me but this might do the trick other than a price tag that probably goes into 6 figures which is too much for me for a daily driver.

Apparently, they stepped on the gas pedal and not the brakes. Also, it may be a stunt trying to turn the people against tesla because the CPP hates Elon.

I must have either hit my head, or there is something wrong with me because I think the newly announced 2023 Prius looks fantastic and has specs that look awesome on paper.

Toyota already did us a favour and painted it in taxi cab yellow too.

But damn… this almost feels wrong to say this… but it looks good and I want one lol.

dark0821 11-15-2022 10:44 PM

Damn/// looks so much better than mine... LOL I want to upgrade hahaha....

Teriyaki 11-15-2022 11:41 PM

0-100km in 6 secs they claim. Prius gonna haul ass.
It looks good. Really good. Shit. If they launch with AWD or atleast e-awd option that's gonna be compelling

JDMDreams 11-16-2022 08:35 AM

Yea good luck on that, they can't even make the current ones what makes you think they can make those:pokerface::troll::joy: 2030 Prius you mean?

But yes I have been enjoying more of toyotas designs lately than Honda.

headhunt3r 11-16-2022 09:25 AM

I'd say that the photos are pretty deceiving. I thought the car looked great until I watched the video posted above... it looks like a naturally evolved Prius.

Badhobz 11-16-2022 09:40 AM

I wonder if they are taking orders for this already.

68style 11-16-2022 09:47 AM

Already a 3 year waiting list :troll:

Yah, that was my first impression actually, not sure why people going goo goo gah gah over it ... it's nice ... for an EV.

Traum 11-16-2022 06:46 PM

It is not available here, but I thought this 5th gen Prius looks a lot like the (3rd gen) FN2 Civic Type R, as well as the (4th gen) FK2 Civic Type R.

Trade in - Not seen
NO ETA - TBD
Price and Rates - TBD
Subject to Availability - TBD

lolol.... I told the guy that honestly I wouldnt mind a 3 to 4 year wait, wanted to get something out of my current Prius first lolol, and let the first model year bugs be worked out

Reason for the jump is
220hp
93KM of EV range

US presser is out. Looks like the "base" model gets 17s. I might go and put some money down for the middle trim.

68style 11-17-2022 07:06 AM

Don't you guys think the side windows are so short and tiny? Gonna feel like a little kid sitting in a bathtub.

dark0821 11-17-2022 07:16 AM

I think the pictures are deceiving.

The size is overall bigger than the current prius prime
longer
wider
lower

So I would expect the windows to be same size or bigger than my current prius windows
