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

[RX-7_FD3S]

In real life I quite like the prius actually, I took a taxi the other day which happen to be a prius and it was quite a nice ride I must say. Now it's not a AMG E65 but I wouldnt mind one if someone would give me one.

But is it a match for this?

Winner ^^^ Hammerhead Eagle I Thrust FTW

I tried both.. The prius won.............................

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.

You sure all hybrids suck?? Check this hybrid Porsche 918 concept man... It has a 3.4L 500hp V8 that revs over 9000rpm, and is paired with three electric motors delivering 218hp. How's that for cool

It's far from the worst car, people who describe it as such rely far too much on hyperbole. There was an early seasonal in GT5 that forced us into the Prius, and lightly modified, it's actually quite a decent steer. No, it's not going to compete with race cars, but a properly sorted suspension and some weight reductions do it wonders. It's weight distribution is decent, it has a relatively low centre of gravity given its height, it's incredibly aerodynamic, and the batteries give it a huge slug of torque down low, great for pulling out of tight corners. It can become an unexpected foil to the hot hatches of the game if you're willing to put some time into it.

not even close:tup:

No, it isn't. And if that makes its way into GT5 I will literally cry .

Looks like demons are harassing the car .

Obviously the Prius would win because the kart only has 10 or so bhp. Plus the kart was designed to be raced against other karts.

Not to mention that those who hate it probably haven't even been inside one, let alone driven one.

Have and still hate it. I hate that car and everything it chooses to be.

Electric cars aren't worth the hype. Maybe in ten years, but not right now.

Derrrrrrrrr!

Sure, the Prius isn't the awesomest car ever, but is one of the more unique cars among the umpteen dozen Skylines lurking the dealerships. It isn't truly the most useful car (Prius TC is better for this), but it's a nice change from that Skyline you just drove. And sure it sounds annoying after an hour, but the CVT isn't necessarily a bad thing.

Kart. It's a flyweight purpose built race car, the Prius is closer to a pedestrian car with a a fancy body kit. But you'll never actually know without trying.

This car gets premium but Bugatti Veryon dosnt? :'(

That's because the Prius isn't nearly as pathetic, useless and ugly as the Veyron.

 

[Sohvakettu]

To answer the topic I almost never actually think about the car but reading some comments here maybe I should. Sounds potentially fun

 

[CarNut11]

The Prius is one of the worst things ever to have graced this Earth. They're hideous, very very very very slow, completely impractical, horrid to drive, not as fuel efficient as you might think and the manufacturing of it causes more damage to the environment than a nuclear bomb. So it's pointless and stupid and I can see no reason why any sane person would see or drive it and think "Hmm...nice, I want that in my life".

However, in GT5 it's fun to race, especially if it's dirty racing against Insights and CR-Z's. And the Prius TC is actually rather quick. So I'm glad the Prius is in the game.

 

[analog]

I don't understand why it's so often being called ugly or hideous, okay the first series was no oil painting (and that's an understatement) the second series was extremely dull or bland to look at but the current one actually looks quite nice to be honest.
Not beautiful or standing out for a particular reason but just as offensive/inoffensive as most other Japanese/Korean/European 5-door hatchbacks.

So on real life you would rather a prius that a Buggati Veryon? Nice!

 

[Slash]

Both of them are ugly as ****.

Who cares if there ugly but he's saying a prius I better?

For driving? yes. Granted I don't particularly like the Prius, it's still more manly than the Veyron. Still, I'd choose the Veyron so I could sell it for a nice profit. Or maybe I could blow it up into a thousand pieces. 💡.

 

[White & Nerdy]

Indeed. Atop Mt. Smug, in the Temple of Self-Righteousness, sits a Toyota Prius. It's guarded by hipsters talking on iPhones, listening to music on iPods, and browsing the web on iPads. While eating granola bars. Enough said.

 

[J0SH1]

Wow you's are weird -_-

 

[Sohvakettu]

I too would take Prius over the Veyron.
It has room for the family and other stuff and the fuel bill wouldn't ruin me.

Edit: Actually paying the tax for the Veyron would ruin me before I could even start the engine... (And there is no evading the tax collectors any more than there is a way to evade the reaper man )

no.

 

[Jawehawk]

no.

There's nothing manly about over compensating .

 

[homeforsummer]

Enough said.

No, please go on, I love to hear the ignorant ramblings of the uninformed, the prejudiced and the self-centered!

Stereotype much? You've obviously never driven one. Only an uneducated and under-experienced dolt would generalize anything in this way. Sorry for the ad hominem attack, but it's a small car, not a BMW, not a Ferrari, and not really like many other cars, which is the real reason why it sells. That, and getting HOV lane privileges in some locales is a justification enough for some folks.

Sure, it's an overpriced Corolla (dimensionally, that is...since it's technically not the same platform), but the automotive market has also shown that there's a buyer who will pay a $5,000-50,000 premium for anything one vehicle will do over another, whether having another 40 horsepower, have bigger wheels, an incrementally longer wheelbase, a trick suspension, something that shaves another second off a zero-to-sixty time.

Arguing whether you get your money back on gaining another 10mpg is as moot a point as whether most people gain any additional satisfaction for a track-inspired upgrade for their car, which is used four times a year, and since it's a street car, likely not for a competition that pays back any significant (if any) cash rewards: Bragging rights only.

Although, discussing real-world merit in terms of a video game really means squat-all nothing.

I driven actually two, and dude is right. Sounds like he stuck a nerve. Hipster much?
