Look up the Toyota NS4 Plug-In Hybrid concept. THAT is what the Gen 4 Prius should have been in my opinion. All grown up with a bit more of a daring look to it. The Gen 4 we got was indeed trying too hard. The interior was a step backward as well. I did like the original elongated futuristic looking tail lights of the…

As someone who's actually done that to their Prius your comment had me in stitches 😄

My only defense of this would be “baby steps”. If Elon is known for anything it’s shooting for Mars before landing on the moon. He comes up with amazing ideas that, while feasible, take much more work and effort to get up and running. Meanwhile we all drool over some awesome concept art from fans across the web,…

They actually just updated their logo last week I believe.

Ford. To me it has always resembled a fridge magnet and the fact that it is blue makes it look ridiculous on so many of its cars. Nothing looks older than your company’s name written in cursive on a blue oval.

If you like rain-x but don't want to have to apply as often check out a product called Aquapel. I apply once per year and it really lasts.

I’m a hydrophobic coating kind of guy. I use stuff called Aquapel that only needs to be applied about once per year. Driving at speeds of 45mph or greater and there's no need for wiper use. That being said my issue is with the multitude of drivers out there that don't turn on their headlights while it's raining. I…

Keep in mind that the money isn’t being taken from you personally but rather withheld from the purchaser’s own tax liability. If they don’t owe at least $7,500 in taxes, they don’t receive the incentive. I’ll pay close to 20k in taxes this year. If I purchase an EV, 7,500 gets lopped off of that liability for the…

For the hundreds of panicked comments below this has already been solved and is no different than keeping your windshield clean...

On a Plymouth Reliant if you click on the radio (volume as low as it can go) turn on the hazards and turn on the windshield wipers the wipers will move to a specific beat and you will hear a heartbeat sound coming through the speakers. It’s actually quite hunting. Triggered this by accident and made me and my two…

I think a lot of these comments here missed the point and/or the article didn’t address the point properly. I read an article a few years ago that basically laid out how much people should spend on a vehicle given their income versus what people actually spend and most of us, myself included, spend well beyond what…

I’m 6'1 and I can’t tell you how many vehicles I’ve been in where positioning the seat and steering wheel for my comfort actually results in my view of the gauges/speedometer being obstructed by the upper arch of the steering wheel. I currently own a third-generation Prius which has the instrument cluster in the…

Tesla Model 3 (Standard Range). I’m a day 1 reservation holder so my best guess is that I’ll have it by mid 2018. Until then my 3rd generation Prius is still in great shape and I’m hoping to be able to sell it before she hits 200k miles.

This reminds me of all the people that have Amazon Prime and say “hey I love it because I get free two-day shipping” and I say “no, you pre pay $99 a year for 2-day shipping.” I honestly wish that there was a regulation to prevent companies from bundling in the cost for an additional service and then calling it “free”…

I too live in northern VA and could not agree more. Google Maps seems to like to take toll roads regardless of the time saved or time of day. For now, I wish they would give you an on-the-fly option as you are driving sort of similar to the feature of adding a stop along a route. The app could dynamically show you…

Keep in mind Johnny had to pay at least $7,500 in taxes the previous year in order to get $7,500 back the following year according to the EV purchase incentive. It was his money to begin with. Either way I’m all for a new tax code that allows me to pay thousands less every year as opposed to a special incentive to buy…

HVAC Vents! Incredibly rare to find a vehicle, even a higher end luxury vehicle, with HVAC vents that look modern and complement the rest of the interiors design language. Most of them look like they were chosen last minute out of a parts bin. I can’t stand them. I do like some of the circular ones and I’ve seen a…

Any vehicle that looks nothing like the concept version. Like, not even close. Yes I know that regulations and cost end up whittling down the vehicle to something far more drab and mundane but then don’t show off a concept you know will never see the light of day. Just another thing I appreciate about Tesla. Their…

I’ve always found hvac vents on most interiors to be quite unattractive. Truth is none of us can complain about this new feature until we actually tried it out for ourselves. I think from a design and function perspective it really is next level. They could make it so the end user doesn’t need to start with touching…

How do we know that the left lanes were available and clear based on this video?
