  3. It feels moronic that Toyota didn't even try to tease us with an entry level hybrid truck. Never mind a PHEV or full ev. It took over 15 years after the Prius and Ford Escape for Ford to produce the first accessible (ignoring extreme demand and limited availability) hybrid light duty pickup. So long they dragged their feet that even the Cybertruck is due out sooner.

  4. 🙄☝️😂 So the Prius. 5th gen. Strongest hitter. But it's not a prius, it's for the meme. It's the first good looking Prius, and that's the joke. It's any car, not a Prius lol. Not a people's car. This could just be another 2.0l Toyota series/parallel hybrid if they pander to a different audience. The new gen could have been both looking awesome and practical. In 2018 there could have been a 220hp 2.0l PHEV because the EU had a 2.0l Corolla Hatch and Wagon in 2018. Every market has become crossovers anyways... I think what Toyota is too stubborn accept that since 2011 most Prius owners traded for a Tesla, Chevy Volt or Nissan LEAF. But instead of seriously plugging in (earlier), there's a PR stink about this as if that playing with the Prius "Identity" and polarizing looks is the secret sauce , which gen 4 was not. They were always really practical cars. There was always some weird compromise that didn't need to be there Like one step forward 1n half step back. Be it design, be it a shared platform, be it executive function, or maximising profits For example, they could've done plugin hybrids better ans a long time ago. They could have made it fun to drive, it's just further chassis tuning, making it look good was always possible (70s 80s 90s Citroëns) They could've not killed the compact PriusC that's still in Japan and station wagon version because they said there wasn't a market or enough demand. They should've made a the Prius pickup at least a decade before the Ford Maverick did... because they said there wasn't a market.. The Prius had more buzz and attention than the VW ID BUZZ. But they're very similar in execution. To whip up the internet and car world, but with chinks behind the exciting armour C'mon, ultimately looks will not be everything in the end, there is a good reason why Prius owners often kept their cars the longest - other than trading with an electric car. Gen 5 is not the spaceous fit anything car anymore, not with its crazy hazzard A pillar. A lillars already gotten bad but this one especially with anyone over 50 driving, it's concerning- because that's the demographic of most new car buyers ! Because that's what Toyota thought thats what their market has to be, entry level premium and it'll soon be too expensive.

  5. If Toyota isn't asleep at the wheel; I expect them to develop a 2.0l PHEV pickup Prius. It's annoying how the Ford Maverick is the first of its kind, somehow, made light a hybrid pickup a decade after the Ford Escape. No wonder there were wild Prius pickup conversions for years

  6. Don't know why Ford has thrown so short its opportunity on its Maverick hybrid. Its production speed is dead slow underestimating real world demand for a 40mpg truck, and they negated a PHEV option. It makes no sense why Ford didn't make one back in the 2000s with the Escape.

  7. Find a Citroen

  8. Pity those union jack rear lights. They are very cringe in Ireland, to put it politely

  9. Clever but not completely unique. Think that's called a through the road hybrid, and I'm sure there's some clutched parallel hybrids for overdrive like the Mitsubishi outlander.

  10. Imagine all the time that could have been saved if this was the Model X design instead of messing with gull-wing doors

  11. I wonder what Sandy Munro thinks of the Planetary Power Split Device popularised mostly by the Prius? It's such a trip to see how it operates. Shame that they can't just beef up the MGs for a more powerful battery pack (Prime 80hp from 36).
