No matter HOW HARD people try to BASH the PRIUS!! U still at some Point in TIME have to REMEMBER that the CAMRY HYBRID ALSO HAS A BATTERY PACK Plus the ALTIMA HYBRID!!
NOW THE BATTERY PACK ON THE ALTIMA AND HYBRID CAMRY ARE JUST AS EXPENSIVE AS THE PRIUS' BATTERY PACK!
*Choke on That*

Yeah, but the diesels are usually cheaper. In the UK, a base-model VW Golf 1.9 TDI costs UKP 14,990 vs. the Prius at UKP 18,255. The Prius does get better combined mileage (54 mpg US vs. 47 mpg; in the UK test) but at an extra 3,000 pounds, you can buy a lot of fuel. But Jeremy Clarkson is a little biased against the Toyota.

It's currently $4000 to replace the battery pack.

I think the problem with diesels, especially in urbanized Europe, is that they don't get as good fuel economy as hybrids do in stop-and-go traffic. They get better mileage on the highway, though.

In the UK, diesel is about the same price as gasoline, and they already have a bunch of diesel cars that get the same or better mileage than a Prius. In his own words (while driving a Prius): "If you wanted an efficient car, why not go buy a Golf diesel?"

I disagree. If you want all out gas mileage and don't care about comfort or style the Geo Metro fits the bill. Excellent gas mileage but not really easy on the eyes. Don't get me wrong, the Prius is a good car. It's just pricey. Really though, a hybrid Camry and a Prius is an unfair comparision. The Prius is an economy car, the Camry, is well, a Camry with better gas mileage. The Hybrid Camry is also an excellent car.

My mom has a 2002 Toyota Camry and they had to fix something on the car so they gave her the 2009 Camry Hybrid. When I got into the car it was very weird, it was also extremely quiet too. Anyway I got in and to those folks who don't know they don't have a key, just put your foot on the brakes, hit the start button and put it in gear. It's an interesting car, doesn't accelerate like her 02 Camry but all in all I like it. I wouldn't buy it for myself but my fiance would love it! |
