Replying to: tidester (Feb 05, 2009 9:48 pm) "...feeling good...."   By that measure, provided one doesn't need F/awd, I would select the HL with the new I4. Unlike the Prius, the HH and RXh are designed and marketed to the "boy-racer" 0-60MPH personality types.   I would also advise a long hard look at the new Venza, fuel sipping I4 and F/awd availibility.   One of the main things to consider about the HSD system is that it is relatively inefficient for highway/freeway driving, very little or no "free" energy/fuel to recover. That aspect is bad enough for the Prius or the TCH but with a V6 used to make up the difference.....   What are the EPA estimates for the I4 HL FWD...??   or the Venza I4 F/awd...??   vs the HH or RXh..??

Replying to: tidester (Feb 05, 2009 9:48 pm) Haha that's very true. You can't put a price on feeling good and clean about yourself and your impact on the world... perhaps I'll just eat the cost and get a cleaner vehicle after all! Or maybe look more seriously into different alternative types of transportation... I'm versatile like that. I like what you said tidester!
