Separate names with a comma.
Hybrids are the wave of the future so the entire auto market will be "inconvenienced" by any flaws in the technology especially given that the...
How can you know that in advance of the details of the recall ?
Uh, I believe the legal exposure is already a done deal. Expect this to be fought over in the court system for the next few years. Since the...
Hmm, come to think of it, just like the MT analogy, this argument is flawed as well. When ABS arrived on the market, people had to learn NOT to...
Anyone trading in an older Toyota for a new vehicle now is asking for a beating on price, regardless of motive fear or otherwise. And as a result...
I don't understand the lack of additional X deceleration on hitting the speed bump. When the wheels hit the bump, there should be an additional...

Most drivers would instinctively slow down for pot holes to avoid suspension/wheel damage.
If you best fit a smooth curve on the acceleration data during the speed bump (212 -212.6), is there a decrease in braking force during that time ?
Guilty as charged, I drive a lowly Accord at a mere 30+mpg. However, I will definitely be buying a hybrid in the future, does that count in my...
LOL A moment of levity can't hurt.
Yes, heavy braking will stop the vehicle earlier than light braking , I see your point but it is rather moot given that most people would assume a...
You are assuming they don't already have Macs installed in their Prius. I mean, did you see the Wozniak's dashboard ? Any unintended acceleration...
It is different indeed, that much everyone agrees on. Question is do all hybrids feel this way or is this particular to the TP's design ?
Often times, there is no clear delineation between "panic" and normal braking situations. A non linear brake response will turn what is a normal...
You are assuming the transition from light to heavy is instantaneous with no driver or vehicle lag.
The operative word is stall. Failure results in a stall i.e. deceleration. But it should not be mandatory to relearn how to STOP.
On the contrary, the MT analogy is the complete opposite. Not knowing how to operate a MT results in a deceleration of the vehicle unlike the Prius.
LOL The Prius club in this forum is the nearest one can get to being in an auto cult. The braking issue is plain and obvious to many casual...
The owners of these crashing Priuses would disagree.
