@Ben,
@Ben,
@alexander_the_car_salamander: People ride motorcycles onto a wall all the time... in GTA. E.g. 0:32 in this.
@Bullitt417: (I always laugh alittle
@Chairman Kaga: The Camry makes an appearance in the next 007 movie.
@BaldwinPeriphetes: Yes, can anyone identify?
@gman1023: the Prius isn't the best at anything
@Jagvar: Is the ASMA grille made of rubber? need one of those to wedge my garage door open.
@Pessimippopotamus: That is definitely the weirdest Alfa grille.
@Tiptoetherat: You're mistaken. No new car sold in the USA gets better MPG than the Prius, no car gets better smog numbers. In Europe only smaller cars do as well. Just go to [fueleconomy.gov], [www.epa.gov] , and [whatgreencar.com],
The front is nice, but without the crazy see-through doors and layered rear of the EfficientDynamics, it runs out of a steam and falls back to ye olde flame surfacing.
@BlueBomb: It's comical to see people getting worked up about batteries.
@eggwich del fiero: The USA has no regulations for CO2 output (yet). It does have standards for CO (carbon monoxide), but looking at [www.dieselnet.com] , even the CARB LEV II standard is comparable to Europe. I think it's the California NOx (nitric oxide)and PM (particulate matter) standards that are about 10x…
@Sam: That 2009 model is an obscene gas guzzler at 1.38 L/100 km (170 mpg-US) :-) The original 2007 model supposedly reached 0.99 L/100 km (238 mpg-US). Note same license plate, and uneasy look of German GmbH burgher in the cockpit.
@Sam: Auto Express's 41 mpg was the old 2004-2009 Prius , and even so their long-term testing of that model "averaged an amazing 60.8mpg - an Auto Express long-termer record". Do pay attention.
@Sam: The Prius gets 72 mpg on the same Euro cycle in the same Imperial gallons.
@IronicalBalls: Even in Europe where there are lots of nifty diesels we can't get in the USA, the Prius is the most economical car in its class ("L-Family" at WhatGreenCar UK). Its 72 MPG (imperial gallons Euro cycle) beats 62 MPG of the VW Passat Saloon 1.6 CR TDI 105 PS, and the Prius CO2 is lower. And I don't…
@Tiptoetherat: Over and over we (gear heads) have been able to poke holes in the cars "green" abilites.
It sounds like they're taking the cheap unthinking route to LEED green building certification:
@Ash78 is going POLAR...: You pushed it too far. Think of the children!
