Did the “tekked-out” Prius win the Dream Build Challenge?

 

Sad to report….it didn’t. Clint Bowyer’s innovative ideas for the racing Prius didn’t win over the fans at the SEMA show in Vegas.  He lost to his competitor, Kyle Busch and his Toyota Camry.

 

Check out the link and videos and tell me which car you would have voted for!

Toyota Prius Vs Ford Focus

 

When you compare these to cars which one is the overall best deal? According to NewCars.com http://www.newcars.com/reviews/toyota-prius-vs-ford-focus-coupehatchback.html

the winner in Price goes to the Focus, it is a few thousand dollars cheaper. When it comes to everything else the Prius win's by far, for example MPG's the Prius is 51/48 versus 27/38 city/Hwy. 

Not only does the Prius have better MPG's but also rates better in Overall Safety Rating and Frontal Crash Rating and Side Car Crash Rating.

So it's easy to see who the overall Champ is in this match.

Let me know what you think

OOPS!....

….didn’t see that one coming!

 One thing is for certain….natural disasters are, well, disastrous! Thanks to Hurricane Sandy, it is possible that 3 Prius’parked in a New Jersey Port caught fire after being submerged by the salt water from the storm. 

 Not to worry though, it only happened to 3 of the 4,000 Toyota’s that were parked there.   

“One Prius out and out burned, the others just kind of smoldered and got really hot,” said Cindy Knight, a Toyota spokeswoman. “These were definitely extraordinary circumstances.” she added. “Once the salt gets in there, it’s ready to do damage.” – New York Times.

Are we finally getting a new body style?....

 

It has been 15 years since Prius has come onto the market with the same body style as they are cranking out today.  Popular opinion and comments continue to highlight the demand for a change….according to an article published by Motor Trend, 2015 will be the year that the sexy new Prius model will hit the streets.

The hot new style will reflect a body style changes to make it more visually appealing and to improve aerodynamics, but still be recognized as a Prius. 

Check out the technical jargon at the following link, and let me know what you think.

Are you interested in driving the new model?

What Can The Prius Do For You

  How about reduce the crash speed & damage

Or

How about help keeping the car in the center of the lane

According to Toyota http://www.toyota.com/prius-hybrid/options.html

The all new Toyota Prius now comes with these features

 Pre-Collision System (PCS)

&

Lane Keep Assist (LKA) 

 The Pre-Collision System is designed to help reduce the crash speed and damage in certain frontal collisions only. They are not collision-avoidance systems and are not substitutes for safe and attentive driving.

Lane Keep Assist is designed to read the lane markers of certain roads and apply slight torque to the steering wheel to help keep the car in the center of the lane. It is not a collision-avoidance system and is not a substitute for safe and attentive driving.

Refuel.....at home!

That’s right.  The newest addition to the Prius family is the Prius Plug-In.  You literally plug your car in and it recharges the battery, allowing you an additional 15+ mpg more than the other Prius'.

 

Cute colorful commercial, catchy, cheery music and the only words uttered are, “Refueling at home. It’s possibile with the new Prius Plug-in.”  I think they could have maybe added this additional info that I looked up about how it assists the increased efficiency of your gas mileage.

Cost of Gas Keeps Going Up

According to http://gaspredictor.com/ prices of gas are simply going up and there's nothing you can do about it, right?

WRONG there is something you can do, you can start driving cars like the Toyota Prius which has a MPG: city 53/Hwy 46

According to Kelly Blue Book http://www.kbb.com/ the Toyota Prius is rated highest in MPG.

  So with the cost of gas increasing it would be wise for your pocket book to invest in the         Toyota Prius.

Tell me what you think
