Re: anyone that owns a prius or other (recalled toyotas )
To be honest with you, I'd still buy one. Maybe I have a lot of brand loyalty, but with 3 Toyotas in the family not a single one has left us stranded. Think of the deals they have now!
Shifting into neutral should be something everyone should learn when driving as it is.

Re: anyone that owns a prius or other (recalled toyotas )
agreed! I guess people are just dumb F***s. My 85 Buick I had occasionally would have the gas pedal stick whenever going to about 80% throttle or higher. The first time it happened, it scared the hell out of me but I quickly nailed the brakes, put it in neutral and quickly shut off the engine to prevent any damage. All I had to do was hit the gas pedal a little harder after it stuck to get it unstuck as I figured out.

Re: anyone that owns a prius or other (recalled toyotas )
From what I've heard, the latest story involving the Prius mentioned that he was unable to shift into neutral for some reason. Can't confirm this, just what I heard.

Re: anyone that owns a prius or other (recalled toyotas )
I have to wonder how many of the stories actually involved out of control cars, and how many were "Well I was on my cell and didn't see the traffic stop in front of me, but since there's this big deal going I might as well just blame that!"

For example the Corolla model changes dramatically generation after another whereas the Nissan Sunny looks coherent from the mid 90's up until now. The Camry also changes a lot, as if it is a completely new model each time..

It seems that Toyota is trying to cater to changing times. First starting out as a cheap econobox, but all the competiton is heading towards sportier, higher hp output with the same gas mileage.
