  2. Don't worry about the country, worry about yourself. Sounds all lovely, positive and simple but it's rooted firmly into a selfish thinking that we have seen through out the 20th and 19th centuries. Cheers mate, but no way. We can't look after ourselves without ever looking out for eachother.

  3. Hindsight says that it would have been best to invest and secure in-house recycling supply chains, instead of profit-squeezing right on time supply chains.

  4. So refreshing to see new and sensible cars that aren't spoiled by nonsense posh trims and crossover styling purely for profiteering.

  5. What's this president's reactions to the Protestors about the Gaza Genocide by Israel and key allies?

  6. Imagine the 2CV against these 😂

  7. Hey Kirk. Shouldn't Toyota not consider shipping in the Aqua back to Western markets? Of course there's the Yaris in Europe but they're two complete different cars. Most manufacturers have dismissed small cars out of market projections from 2018.

  8. I would most definitely replace an Audi 🙄 with this Citroën

  9. This is the macroeconomic result of an industry that relies in crossovers to maximize profits. Maximizing profits begets inflation. Inflation reduces the value of profits, and you get the picture

  10. Yaaaas! But it can't just leave the entry level market. My ongoing disappointment with Toyota will persist (i rather it not), given how they treated the Prius here in the EU market since the 2nd gen. The US and Japan had base levels, even the UK, but many places such as Ireland they didn't understand who would be in the market place foran affordable "alternative fuel vehicle", so they exclusively sold it as a posh item , a base Lexus by price. Gen 3 Priuses were only top spec and badly priced at 30 grand, a stone's throw from the CT200h. But they had no problems pushing turbo diesels.

  13. This honestly makes me sad for the years these options have been deprived across the US market. There's a Wagon Corolla hybrid in the EU that virtually unknown, especially with a 2.0l engine. Imagine, a Corolla hybrid station wagon with eAWD, possibly as a PRIME? Something is dead wrong with Toyota's executions on consumer interest and market speculation... By mid decade what we saw were short term actions like axeing the Prius C and Plus and complying with market regulations which thankfully brought us the PRIME plugin hybrid It's like Toyota wasted time and sat on its laurels throughout the 2010s. The eAWD hybrids are the more desirable hybrid in the US interior. An eAWD small/mid size pickup hybrid would be the holy grail, hence the Ford Maverick. Has nobody seen all the Prius-truck conversions? The car alone is a proven workhorse. The lack of awareness from Toyota is infuriating. It's maddening for what the hybrid synergy engines could actually do. The eAWD existed in Japan since 2015

  17. That could be off the west coast of Ireland, except for the weather

  18. Forget the Yaris. The Aqua looks way more attractive. Toyota PR thinks the west wants nothing more than CUVs

  19. Remember, the economy we live with creates its own contradictions. Such as eventually creating an oversupply in anticipation to achieve maximum growth and profit. Especially when said maxium growth means crossovers and premium across every competitor. And consumers are increasingly priced out of the market, infaltion helping that divide too, especially driven by an industry wide pursuit of maxium profiteering. Have they not learned from the last crash?

  20. The problem is waiting for free market forces to make recycling (of any material) attractive. Plus, waiting for batteries to complete their life cycle. Lots more can be achieved by a collective effort in cleaning out each and every desk, cabinet and night stand for old, forgotten mobile phones.

  21. You would know of the kind of "Ulster man" who would've owned this back in the day.

  22. No ePower in the US. That's a problem worth noting

  23. Would be cooler with a Prius

  25. Doesn't Toyota know that there's a whole community of Prius drivers that like to upgrade their cars? And to keep them running as long as possible? "Outlanding" suspension lift kits, camper conversions, antiroll bars and braces, battery balancing chargers and PHEV kits. On board inverters to power air fryers and appliances. Anti theft Catalytic converter shields. ...

  26. Now if only Nissan made an EV Note or Micra. Or a PHEV ePower

  27. Why is it so hard for Toyota to make a 1.6l tubro or superchrg 3 cyl hybrid with stronger batteries anf shove it in a sporty Yaris GR, Prius, anything?

  28. The electric cars that people want are options that you can only find built in China. Europe is having the same problem. If you told someone back in 2005 that there would be a €50,000 Hyundai or KIA as a mid range car in 2020 they'd laugh. Even regular combustion engine cars like before 2008 have grown in an unsustainable fashion where there's an oversaturation of the samey kind of vehicle while making (advertising to) consumers believe they're being spoiled for choice.

  29. It's nice that the i-MiEV does have a successor now, I do miss the jellybean shape, whether that old 2005 design is more efficient is a thought for another day. The absence of any other kei EV car in the JDM market was most strange. More surprising is that there isn't a Nissan e-power hybrid kei car, a shrunken down Note. Imagine, a tiny light little thing with a 63hp electric motor and God knows how much torque.

  33. I would not entertain the segment either car competes in, but I would favour the Nissan Aria. It has active cooling now...

  34. Pity. The Mirage needed more variety. The sedan comes from its prevelance for the south Asian markets it's built in. If only western markets were offered a wagon Mirage, manual , hybrid or EV could've been interesting if the will power were there. It would be the closest thing to a Dacia.

  37. Electrification does mean anywhere starting from 24 volt to 48 volt mild hybrid systems. If Mazda can pull off what the Honda CRZ couldn't in efficiency and performance, then I guess that's still welcomed. That was just a ~ 120v system with a 13hp motor Idk man, 2030 feels like it's already too late to call. If going full EV with a lightweight battery and a rotary REx is too much for them, then I trust Mazda to really innovate with Toyota's hybrid drivetrains, or maybe give a proper use for the highly discussed Wankel REx across more cars. Seriously though, had anyone thought of swapping an Atkinson engine from a hybrid with rotaries? They're both compensated for low torque in a parallel/series hybrid.

  38. We derided mini mpvs and mpvs in general because of looks and status in favour for SUVs, and look at the state of where that has left us

  39. It'll be cool, but with communities, not police authorities

  40. Honestly the most sensible Toyota in its entire lineup to date, second to the ëBerlingo. Huh... 🤔 The passenger version can come with 3 front seats and 3 3rd row seats. The VW ID BUZZ is woefully poor in comparison

  41. THAT FUNNY FEELING

  42. On a holiday in Europe my parents rented one of these. I kinda liked it as a 9 year old at the time, loads of room, loads of light and the rear seats were configurable. But my dad was ranting and screaming at the automatic gearbox the rental was equipped with, and the second my dad went over one of those short-sharp speed bumps, I swear I must've gotten a concussion and a messed up stomach, the seats were unbearably hard. That's German tastes I guess

  43. My 15 year old Gen 2 is still able to net me 66 mpg (Imperial), which is 56mpg US, that is with an occasional leaky tire and warm to mild weather all season. Wish I could plug it in or find an attainable li-ion upgrade, only a few folks on priuschat provide that.

  44. I used to be cheering for Toyota. But trust me, and I know it's funny given my username, but let go being a sycophant fanboy for a brand. If Toyota had its way, with no emissions or mpg regulations, they wouldn't have built the Prius in the first place. That's capitalism

  45. Theeeeere it is again, that funny feeeling

  46. 🥱🥱🥱 Would be more interested in a light duty hybrid pickup. Something Toyota could have and should have made a decade before the Ford Maverick.

  47. It's not released yet in much of Europe yet. Prius Prime is being marked at €48,000 here. That's an abject failure. That's antithetical to what made the iconic Prius a success. Make a CT200h Prime, fine, but Toyota is leaving a vacuum in the entry oevel market and it's the Chinese EVs thst will have the spoils.

  48. What's the new battery like?

  49. I just wish FIAT bothered to use the Twin Air for its mild hybrid system instead of developing a new 3 cylinder...

  50. Shame that today Toyota has grown so upmarket there's a considerable vacuum in the small and entry level market left where the old Yarises, iQ and Daihatsus used to be. A bargain brand beneath Toyota with all the hybrids and EVs needed should solve the malaise, but isn't that what they're trying to with Suzuki? Couldn't call them affordable alterations to Toyota.

  51. It's better than all the crossovers and SUVs. Compare the yaris verso to the Aygo X, the latter is beyond a cynical joke

  52. Leftist cooks had done a fine video on "How America bought Ireland"

  53. You Americans are really missing out on the Estate hybrid Corollas in Europe. And our Corollas are just basically rebadged Aurises. They also come with larger 2.0l hybrids if I'm not mistaken.

  54. Do you know what kicks ass? The Toyota Sienta Basically an Aqua/PriusC MPV. But less practical and efficient crossovers are more profitable 🤷🤦

  56. Plug-in? There's no reason for the Chrysler Pacifica to be the only MPV PHEV after all these years.

  61. Too many comments here that miss the point entirely. Just focus on drugs, migrants and homelessness - as if homeless people and migrants weren't people to begin with...

  62. Toyota royally fucked up and squandered its 20 year lead.

  63. it better come with wankel manual and a wankel hybrid.

  64. Haha yeah I can take the piss take, but I feel bereft for the car (for Mitsubishi), a more beefier, 36kWh rear drive egg would be a missed opportunity for the brand maker. But really honestly, the iMiEV's guts were left untouched since its 2011/12, with only comfort features coming and going. By 2014 there was a real speculation that the i-MiEV would get a refresh, but nah. Battery supply was diverted mostly to the Outlander PHEV, and the iMiEV just went under the radar after 2015. It was a 2005 chassis on a steel ladder frame after all. But with the likes of the expected, affordable 22kWh 44 - 76hp Chinese-originated Renault KWIDS coming to Europe as electric Dacias - one could really wonder when Mitsubishi has lost itself by not giving the little pioneer another glance.
