The Prius... What do you think about it?

[jagdrag77]

Because that's how Toyota marketed it..The general public bought that story, even though it's untrue..

I tell Prius owners "your killing the planet" it's great fun, try it..

Ha, nice one!

On topic, the Prius is okay if you are a hippy, eco-mentalist who worries there's not gonna be a planet by the next day, in other words: INSANE

Your life must be pretty boring (and sad) if you hate things like cars.

I appreciate every single car in the game the way it should be appreciated. There are many cars that should not be raced, the Prius (stock) is one of them, as well as many other models.

But to MY surprise, a lot of cars that I took for a spin in a free run, like the Fiat 500, the Prius, Copen Active Top, DLC Beetle just to name a few, were some of the best run I've had.

Maybe it's because I'm "old" compared to the average fan base of PS3/GT5 mix (I'm 33), but I tend to appreciate the smaller, less talked about cars rather than those overpowered beasts.

To be honest, I bought the last DLC because of the Beetle. I think I drove the Aventador in the speed test, that's it. As for the Beetle, I have over 200 km on it if I'm not mistaken, and it's great.

+1 to you, good sir.

Have a nice day!

I'll take my Pinto in pistachio green, notchback please.

your a sick, sick man. I actually had a pinto, my second car. It was actually white with red and green plaid cloth interior. IT WAS HIDIOUS. It had studded snow tires on it that i ran all year long. I had dreams of doing burn outs and seeing sparks flying off the tires. No such luck, the gutless wonder didn't even have enough power to chirp the tires.

Now saying all that, that piece of sh*% car, that prevented my 16 year old self getting girls or respect from my "friends" is still better than the Toyota Prius.

I'm 35, and bad taste has no age limit on it. The beetle, really?

And let me guess, you've got something against the beetle?

 

[Mr-McNUGGET]

Don't get me wrong, i am just as guilty as others, with bad taste. But the beetle was another one of "those" kind of basic cars, that have no appeal to me other than basic transportation. I know there is a huge following, but i don't get it.

The huge following is mainly because the car is so basic. That's the beauty of the beetle.

I just hate it when people destroy the car by adding spoilers and unnecessary performance modifications.

 

[Mr_X]

I don't know. This looks pretty cool.

That looks awesome

 

[X-Power]

Honestly? You hate a car just from it's looks?

Also, I'm not a fan of the Prius, but please explain "soulessness" if you've used that term, to show that you know what it means and that you haven't just copied it off of Jeremy Clarkson.

For me personally, the car lacks any soul at all. I know it's a very vague term, so I'll explain why I used it. The Prius doesn't look nice, it doesn't sound nice, it doesn't have a nice interior, it doesn't have a particularly innovative design, it doesn't handle well and the car only sold so much because of marketing. Most other cars have qualities that give them a soul, whether it's good looks, good engineering, a good interior, an innovative design, etc. The Prius, in my honest opinion, has none of those qualities.

However, since it's already in GT5, I don't want it removed, because that would provide less variety. As I said earlier, it can be quite funny to beat a Skyline/Supra/Impreza with a modified Prius.

 

[MSTER232]

Sorry, but I'm going to say you're wrong. The worst car Toyota ever made is the Supra. JK JK. No, the worst car Toyota ever made is the Camry. Its success is partly why Toyota stopped making cars like the Supra and more cars like the Camry.

As for the Prius, if you think it's lacking in luggage space, you obviously don't own one or know anyone that does. My brother owns one and that thing can carry A TON of stuff. It drives like a minivan, but what I always tell people is that it's a GREAT car if you don't like cars.

That right there is the biggest mistake Toyota has ever made since the founding of the company.

We want the supra back!

 

[Tvensky]

prius. ugly car. never had it for a ride and never will ..

 

[MSTER232]

prius. ugly car. never had it for a ride and never will ..

Having said that, I don't know why on earth PD included a racing version of the Prius in a DLC pack. If it wasn't in the same pack as other desirable cars like the RX-7 TC then I guarantee you that nobody would buy it. If anyone would buy the Prius TC on its own then they are a sad weirdo who wants to be more economically friendly in a virtual world that technically doesn't exist.

Above: The offending, so-called 'Touring Car' version of the Prius as included in Car Pack 1.

Haters gonna hate

I, for one would get it.

Being economically friendly in a virtual world isn't the reason why, in fact the idea never crossed my mind until you mentioned it, which I find quite funny.

 

[deadcat777]

Dear Polyphony Digital...

The above car for DLC please!

Sincerely,
ZDUPH

who the hell will pay for this pos?

 

[MSTER232]

who the hell will pay for this pos?

Please, one racing edition of the Prius was enough 👎 .

 

[eran0004]

Well, yeah the Prius. Possibly the worst Toyota ever made... What do you think of it? I think its just too ****ing ugly, with that spoiler and worst of all, the stupidity of making it small in the back (luggage space) and have a sort of spoiler in the rear looks weird... what do you think about this car?

And i am wondering if PD just shoved it in the Premium section to make us mad... and yeah, there are the 1 gen and some in the UCD. Why???? Worst car in the whole automotive history!!! I saw it on top gear and it handles like a... or it doesen't have any handling at all just like a freaking turtle...

You mad bro?

I think the car is alright. The touring car version is awesome. I think PD put it in the game because clearly it's the future of automotive industry. There's quite a few hybrids/electric cars in the game.

You might think it's ugly (I don't) but consider the fact that it's one of the first commercially successful hybrids ever and that it's not only eco-friendly but also a big 🤬 in the face of a global oil industry that does anything for money, including supporting civil wars and genocide in Africa and causing major disasters to the wildlife in our oceans and on our shores.

That's what REALLY should make you mad.

 

[C-ZETA]

The Prius TC is hilarious. (Scroll down a bit on this page.)

 

[BMWM52012]

You mad bro?

clearly it's the future of automotive industry.

"I HAVE SEEN THE END, NOT EVEN THE GO-KARTS WERE SPARED!!" You could probably find a reference to the coming of the hybrid in Revelations. One of the 4 hybrids of the apocalypse. the first is the prius, the second is the nissan leaf, the third (the chevy volt???), the fourth may signify the end of the world.

 

[BigFluffy10000]

Hi

I hate the noise it makes too, it would be improved a little if it had a normal gear box.

But it's a pretty pointless car.

The leaf is more fun!

Paul

Maybe if it was this Leaf.

 

[C-ZETA]

Now that Leaf, my friends, is beast. 👍

 

[Azure Flare]

It's the automotive equivalent of the devil (all hybrids are actually). The TC version needs a proper gearbox. I painted mine beige purely for lulz.

 

[Jawehawk]

global oil industry that does anything for money, including supporting civil wars and genocide in Africa and causing major disasters to the wildlife in our oceans and on our shores.

Sorry to tell you this, but the oil business doesn't have accidents like massive oil leaks on purpose. Not like they gain money when a rig catches fire, or a tanker ship starts leaking. And blaiming the oil companies for the genocide in Africa... The stupidity has no limit I guess. Aparently, Africa doesn't have to take any responsibillity for their current situation. It's all the west's fault, right?

The oil companies might very well be greedy bastards that we would be better off without. But you can't blame them for everything bad in the world.

 

[GT'S BiG FaN]

I like how it looks actually. If only we could swap engine's, it'd be one of my favorite cars.

 

[NikoBellic]

 

[MSTER232]

That Prius got what it deserved .

 

[Mr-McNUGGET]

Wow, someone improved the looks, I didn't think that was possible

 

[MSTER232]

Wow, someone improved the looks, I didn't think that was possible

They should sell the Prius like how it is in the picture. It would increase the sales rapidly .

 

[JBanton]

At least it's better than this;

I could design a better electric car if I got my 🤬 to do it for me...

 

[Azure Flare]

But is it a match for this?
