Someone over at PriusChat dropped images of what appears to be the next generation Prius or at least a really fantastic photochop of what the new Prius mule looks like.

lolwut is that like an equivalent of SAU but with Toyota Prius? >_<

a VW golf deisel produces less carbon dioxoide than the so called "green prius" in city driving and highway driving...

Prius = Fail

and the people who buy then = fail for getting sucked into the hype and not doing thier research properly

think about it your going to buy the prius for its economy and environment benefits, not its looks or performance..... and it doesnt even do that properly

My GF leases one through work and Prius is a great car. We easily get 1000 KMs to a full tank. It drinks next to nothing in local streets and has fairly good go if you push it. The petrol kicks in when you want it to (rev high).

The looks of the car grow on you... it looked average to me but now that has changed and I dont mind it at all.

Speaking of looks, Id never be caught driving a Nissan Micra... now that is ugly.

I drive prius's (or is it Priui?) as we have a couple at the office and if I need to head out I take one of those. they are ok. very quiet and about the same as any other pezzy little econo-box. and the gadgety display is fun and trying to keep it to electric power in the city is fun too. but come on, fairly good go? I'm sorry mate but they are as slow as a wet week. our clapped out 15 year old daihatsu applause 1.5l manual goes harder than a brand new prius and believe me that is not very hard. not too sure on this high rev thing either? they sounds like they'll self destruct over about 5,000rpm. my FD RX7, yes high revs goes good. 34 GTR, yes high revs goes good. prius? no. 8,000+ is high revs. 4,500 and ka-blammo is not high revs!

if you care about fuel economy sure they are ok at that. but don't have any illusion about them being fun or sporty to drive. they are rubbish to drive and slow. and if I really wanted an eco weener machine I'd got for a grey import honda insight. :D

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      I can see between the water jacket and cyl 3 there wasn't a hard line of combustion gas. It certainly appears that the issue is coming from there. Yes, checked the tension. All at 100ft lbs where I set them 5 years ago. These blocks can crack but generally when they have been over bored. Mine is only 0.5mm oversize at 89.5mm. They break between cylinders around the 91mm mark. No sign of that with mine. My gut feeling is the head gasket lifted a while back when the studs stretched and i bandaided it by retorquing the studs. It's finally let go.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel
