Guy walks into a Toyota dealer — sounds like a joke so far, right? Not quite.
Guy walks into a Toyota dealer looking for a 2008 Toyota Prius. He's heard about hybrids for awhile now, and the Prius is one he knows by name. He vaguely recalls some celebrity bragging about taking one to the Academy Awards instead of a limo, and then there was that South Park episode, "Smug Alert" a couple of years back. And didn't Al Gore's own son make headlines for getting busted doing 100 mph in his Prius?
Something like that. Beyond the hype, Guy's never really given hybrid cars much thought, much less gone looking for one. And even though he can afford a decent-size car or SUV, the price of gasoline has him looking for fuel economy in a serious way.
And there on the showroom floor, Guy sees a 2008 Toyota Camry Hybrid for almost the same amount of money as a Prius. Now what?

stupid asshole you are watching too much videos from the internet... think about this: the prius was made to save fuel on cities not on tracks.. think about the reason for that.. a 3.5 L engine stopping on a red light for hours, asshole

I'm not sure if ... ( 2 months ago by ita1cmo)

I'm not sure if your educated enough to know this but BMW have inroduced their new "Efficient Dynamics" system on all cars meaning th the engine switches of when it is not needed and starts again when it is i.e. when sitting at a red light

accept that you saw ... ( 2 months ago by evelioruano)

accept that you saw that stupid program "Top Gear".. if that system exists that would mean that the engine switches off when you press the brakes.. because at that moment is not needed... that seems very smart... i don't think bmw would do that stupid thing
MORON!!!!

yes it was on Top ... ( 2 months ago by ita1cmo)

yes it was on Top Gear, can't deny that it got better milage though. BMW have introduced his on all new models, it called efficient dynamics, the enigne switches off and on when the car is stopped i.e. at traffic lights, i maybe didnt explain it properly before.

Once again, tell me ... ( 2 months ago by Dutchoven08)

Once again, tell me why it is that Hybrids that get 45 MPG are better that the 1002 Geo Metro that got 61 MPG or the 1996 GM EV1 that got 90 miles on an overnight electric charge?
Oh, not supposed to ask those questions...
Ralph Nader does and he's trying to get into the Presidential debates.
He's on the ballot in 45 states and write in in the rest.
Want electric Cars? McBama aint gonna do it.
Ralph Nader will.

Neither of those ... ( 2 months ago by smbstressfest)

Neither of those cars are made anymore, right? It sounds like you dislike "hybrids" so what car should we buy if we're interested in conserving fuel? And by the way, what do you drive and what kind of mileage are you getting?

I felt compelled to ... ( 2 months ago by Dutchoven08)

I felt compelled to sell off my gas guzler truck and try to support upstart sustainable fuels- I bought a 25yr old Mercedes Diesel and run Biodiesel from a station by my home. Expensive fuel, 25 mpg, not great but supprting new fuels w/ my $
I know that CA will allow new-tech diesels this year from MBZ and VW(?)= low emissions, great MPG.I'll buy one next.New-type EU Diesel tech is high MPG low emissions.A good comprmis. Few Electrics r still runnin now. thats bst option.Ford has 65mpg in EU

Brand new Prius = ... ( 1 month ago by paldri)

Brand new Prius = $27,000 (or more) for 45mpg at best.
Used Geo Metro = under $4k for well over 50mpg.
The only thing green about the Prius is the green cash you'll have to dish out for it. It's a stupid vehicle, highly popular in Southern California and purchased mainly by the mindless trend followers who live here that can't think for themselves.

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!

I disagree. If you ... ( 2 weeks ago by blondetrumpetboy)

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.

In the UK, diesel ... ( 1 week ago by bpogi38)

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 think the problem ... ( 1 week ago by redbeast2)

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.

It's currently ... ( 1 week ago by redbeast2)

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

Yeah, but the ... ( 1 week ago by bpogi38)

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.
