that’s for the Prime. interesting that the engine still uses 0w-16 and they didn’t go crazy with 0w-8 like in the Yaris.

It does, normal like a Honda Civic. Beltline is way too high especially for rear passengers. Car looks good in glamour shots using carefully selected angles, reality not so much.

Have you seen it in reality yet? Am I supposed to not like the picture you posted above? I think it looks great.

I think you are being a little picky. It's not exactly my style, but I wouldn't be embarrassed to drive one. It's the drivetrain I'm not a fan of

It could be seen that way, not concerned. I'm not here to fanboy for any particular company just for the sake of it I say what I really believe.

Toyota is betting the future of the company on their hybrid strategy I wish them the best of luck.

That's a fair statement. Personally I feel the same way, that's why I wouldn't buy it in million years. But I still like the redesign

Lowered expectations. Denny's joke: server brings your meal you look at the burger and say, oh snap that looks disgusting. Server hold burger up next to their face, "how does it look now?". You say wow, it looks incredible give it to me.

Mr. Positivity you are today. Wake up on the wrong side of the bed, stubbed your toe? Didn't have your coffee?

I'm in a great mood.

Coffee is for the weak.

Back to the Prius this bought Toyota some time, which is probably very dangerous they can continue to be complacent.

You apparently my friend, don't drink the same coffee I drink

This **** will put some hair on places you never thought would grow hair

You already know my stance on the issue, it's well documented (see the Toyota reboots EV strategy). No need in repeating it....

Ha, coke is kids stuff. If I had my wife drink less than 1/3 of the can, she would be climbing the walls saying she wants to kill someone. I'm pretty resistant to caffeine, and this stuff has a kick even for me. Two cans and I would probably be in the ER!

Haha sounds like Polestars website

OW16 is pretty crazy in itself. Lol.


thanks for posting the B-roll. Not in love with the interior as much as I’m in love with the exterior. Standard awd which is great.

Here are some grabs from the B-roll.

Interesting to see them market as a HEV





The Hybrid Reborn under the hood is a nice touch.






Two cameras out back. Tells me that this has level 3 autonomous driving. New Toyota Teammate
