Re: Prius

did I miss it? Why did you get rid of the "V"?

Have been looking at 3.6R OBW's myself here lately.

The dealer, "I-10 TOYOTA of INDIO MEXIFORNIA" fu*ked my wife with unethical obfuscating on a $2000 warranty we would NEVER have agreed to pay for.

Next question.

The most noticeable feature of the Prius is the road noise, I compare the ride to rolling along inside an empty beer can. It's due to the "green thing"

The dealer I-10 Toyota of Indio fu*ks it's mostly one time customers. Tricked my wife into signing a document with a warranty price of $2000 when they led her to believe the warranty she signed was for $4 a month, so don't go near I-!0 Toyota in Indio Mexifornia cause you'll be not kissed & will be screwed. We will get the $2000 back From Toyota National which is an absolute stand up company, they need it run an ethics investigation of their Indio dealer. The Palm Springs Subaru dealer now has the "V", good car, Outback is way better!

i think the fake plastic woodgrain trim looks very nice in the legacy / outback limited trim levels, especially with the beige interiors. i don't think it is at all reminiscent of the svx's fake plastic woodgrain. don't many non-premium car lines use fake plastic woodgrain in their higher trim-level vehicles?

i just want to know about the stereo display.

The wood grain plastic you have seen in SVX's especially is 20-14 years old, that's a lotta sun exposure & heat, are you a professional critic?

my svx was almost new when i bought it and the new fake plastic woodgrain was, is, and will always appear to be fake, plastic, and cheap-looking. i'm just saying the new woodgrain trim in the new subarus look very nice. i will say the same about the new fake plastic brushed aluminum trim compared to the awful grey plastic in SVX L models.

i'm not a professional critic, i just play one on this forum.
