Replying to: bond4james (May 07, 2008 10:23 am) Now I wish to find some photos of the interior of the 09. I really wish the interior dash and displays would change. Not really up on what is on the car now. A more normal dash would be to my liking. Also the current Navi is too far out where the sun will hit it causing the view of the screen to be washed out. A none touch screen as well. Too many darn finger prints. Had a Civic 06 touch screen Navi and did not like it much. Now have the 08 Honda Accord with Nav system, no touch screen and it is a joy to use on long trip. |

I sat in the Prius and wasn't surprised that there was no height adjustments for the drivers seat. Steering wheel is too far away, mouse fur cloth covering areas that will get soiled and drum brakes. Typical Japanese stinginess. I will wait for the Jetta Diesel.... much more a driver's car. and won't have to worry about magnetic fields....

I too drive an 05 Subaru Outback - 51,000 miles on it (higher miles than "average" as we were building a log cabin in the mountains and I made many trips from Atlanta to check on construction). I only average 22 mpg and regret not buying the Prius in 05 when I got the Subaru. In any event, I've placed a deposit on a new '08 Prius w/pkg. 2 waiting for one to come in. In the southeast (FL, GA, SC, NC and AL) no-one is selling below MSRP and you can't find them on any lots. I'm concerned that I may be jumping the gun in my quest for higher mpg -- should I wait for the '09s to come out?

Replying to: kdhspyder (May 08, 2008 3:51 pm) "due consideration"... excuse me? I'm not allowed to point out the shortcomings of the Prius?

... here's a thread from an other site with some good and accurate info on the changeover from Gen 2 to Gen 3. http://priuschat.com/forums/2009-toyota-prius/47621-putting-speculation-rest-200- 9-carryover-2008-confirmed.html#post621530 Expect the Gen 3 to arrive here summer 2009 as a 2010 model. |

Replying to: orangelebaron (May 20, 2008 5:45 pm) The EPA numbers are out for the Jetta Diesel ... .. it's 2nd rate as compared to the Prius and HCH, .. plus diesel is significantly more expensive than gas, .. plus the pricing is likely to be at or above the hybrid models .. plus it's a VW with all of VW's baggage to drag around. But it probably drives better (  ), woo hoo.

Replying to: orangelebaron (May 20, 2008 5:45 pm) I thought you were spot on. All common complaints from owners. Handling in the wind is a biggie for me. I see them crawling along at 45 MPH to keep them on the highway when the wind blows across Interstate 8 here in San Diego. They seem to be a good city runabout, though kind of expensive.
