Replying to: oldcoach (May 27, 2008 7:00 am) Excellent. I am sure you hope tomorrow is Thursday. Called my dealer last Friday and was told that mine got delayed three more weeks. Please report back how you like yours.. but again, I might know the answer already. I nornally drive between 75 - 80 mph on the freeway, I wonder how does that affect the mileage? Enjoy your new toy.

Replying to: oldcoach (May 24, 2008 2:29 am) The tires are no biggie issue. They are the Goodyear Integrity's which are just run-of-the-mill midsize/compact tires. Nothing special nothing horrible. Mine lasted exactly 50000 miles with no issues. Replaced with the next level up Goodyear Comforttreads. I expect these to last 80000 mi. Wind buffetting is only really noticeable in that it's there. It doesn't affect the driving at all. Replies to this message: oldcoach (Jun 03, 2008 3:03 pm)

Really like not using a key, the climate control system is outstanding, it also has a very good stereo system. Also the Prius really surprised me with its power on the interstate, and the smoothness of the transmission. It handles real well. The only trouble i am having is getting it away from my wife to drive. Will keep you up dated and informed of any questions.

At this point , We are number eleven on the list for possible delivery in september. (Do salesmen ever stretch the facts on these statements? I wish I could find out from some one of knowledge and authority just when the 2009 models will be avail.

You guys can keep your hybrids and tofu. Give me a Chevrolet, and I'll dust ALL your hybrids. Replies to this message: stevedebi (Jul 28, 2008 11:46 am) kdhspyder (Aug 02, 2008 5:33 am) t_wrx (Sep 24, 2008 7:35 am)

Replying to: longhaultrucke (Jul 26, 2008 4:57 pm) "You guys can keep your hybrids and tofu. Give me a Chevrolet, and I'll dust ALL your hybrids. " I have a better proposal. We will give your Chevy and the Hybrid 10 gallons of gas, and see who goes the farthest. Who do you think would win that one? Oh, and what would happen if it was a Chevy hybrid? It is enough to make your eyes cross... Last one. Would you use a feather duster, or a rag to dust off the hybrid?

Replying to: longhaultrucke (Jul 26, 2008 4:57 pm) Sorry, your Aveo is smaller, weaker and uses too much fuel. That was a bad choice about mentioning Chevys
#29 of 50 Any New Photos or Specs on the 2010 Prius..or Any Other Good News? by akg Aug 19, 2008 (5:42 am)
I have a Subaru Outback and get decent mileage (21-28mpg). I have lately been following all the suggestions on improving my gas mileage...and they work! I really love the AWD and need it where I live. I have been advised time and again to hang tough for a few more years as the technology is advancing rapidly out of a fossil-fuel driven car. I would love to see that. But, I am still considering the 2010 Prius. Any new articles or links with photos? How about any links on the new Hydrogen Fuel cell cars coming up? Thanks!

Replying to: kdhspyder (May 22, 2008 7:01 pm) For me a Hybrid sounds practical but the initial outlay is to big a premium, and Im not sure of battery dependability. Its going to be expensive to replace them in a few years. But if you can take the increased payment and spread it out over 3-4 years. that could justify the daily gas savings your getting. Leverage, like house buying but the car value goes in reverse. You have house payment (the car payment) and the equity you gain (the gas you save) as house prices (gas prices) go up. Here the Hybrid gives you instant equity as it relates to your current gas bill and more equity as prices go up.But your car payment is losing value, the opposite of a house. A gallon is up a 1.20 from year ago. So you lost that gas savings or equity if you didnt buy one Me,Im looking for a job with less miles to commute and keeping my payed off car. Currently my commute is only 25 miles round trip. Soon Ill be riding a bike 4-5 miles to work, and driving my gas hog for the fun and power.hahahhahaha
