redguru said:I rented a Rio Memorial Weekend for a long trip. Averaged 43MPG per tank on 8 tanks of gas. I had to shoehorn myself into it, but damned good mileage.
Even at the EPA projections, function list price versus list price and find out how many miles you'd have to run before the Prius is cost-effective versus the Rio.

redguru said:Fuck you, at least I got a real Cheesesteak Memorial weekend.
I love philly cheesesteak, when I visit my bros in philly I go to Jim's once a day.jnevin said:There's one place here I can go to and get a real cheesesteak. The owner moved here from S. Philly. I uh, go more than I should.
do they make a 4 door Rio?redguru said:Toyota Prius MSRP: $23770
Kia Rio MSRP: $10890
That's 3211 gallons of gas difference at $4.01/gal
At 10 mpg difference in highway mileage, you'd have to run the Prius 32,110 miles more than the Rio to be cost-effective.

a yaris is a good little car, especially if you get the t4. a prius is just...so, so wrong. i hate the whole "buy our product and you will be saving the environment" bullshit. i find it ridiculous that people still fall for it.redguru said:Ask pick3, he drives a Yaris.

do you really think that by creating the prius, toyota were very happy that they were doing something positive for the environment? no, they were very happy because they had found a gap in the market, and because they make millions more by exploiting the easily led people who would rather buy something than actually do something.nimbus said:elaborate plz

Toyota isn't a charity, I give them credit for finally being one of the companies to step up and help us reduce the dependence on oil/gasoline. Its a step in the right direction, there is still more work to be done, but should they have just done what every other company did and not give a fuck?*The_West* said:do you really think that by creating the prius, toyota were very happy that they were doing something positive for the environment? no, they were very happy because they had found a gap in the market, and because they make millions more by exploiting the easily led people who would rather buy something than actually do something.

my car now gets 25 mpg, I hope to get a prius that gets me close to 75mpg*The_West* said:to be honest i would have thought that a little one litre driven sensibly would be just as economic as any fancy arse hybrid. they're just trying to cash in on people is all it is. like the fabric softener ad-we all know concentrated is better-less packaging, less lorries on the roads, but then they put a little kid on saying 'every child has the right to a nicer world' basically making these easily led people think "oh no if i dont buy this product im being mean to kids" its all bullshit

If I get in an accident - the chances increase of me surviving. And I like anythign that increases my chance to live.
Some people I knew died in a car crash last month. They were in a tiny car. And they had their seatbelts on (so much for that theory).
