Don’t worry people there is a Hybrid on the Horizon which has everything the Prius lacks including Style in the form of the BMW Vision – check out the March 08 issue of Car [UK] magazine.
There is also a rather Cool Hybrid MPV in the form of the GM Opel Flextreme

How do you scare a Prius owner?Tell them that one of there tyres is slightly under inflated,causing an extra .0027per100km in fuel consumtion,Thus there are killing 3 baby ducklings more per100km.The Prius sterotypes people it makes women look dumb and men gay and or a geek.Sorry Prius onwers,not poking fun at you,but your car.I think internatioal aid agencys Should give physological & Emotional aid to all the people affected by this world wide energy crisis car.These car are only good for One thing,Making Politicians drive them HA.

Toyotas are boring? Check out this Aurion:

Well, there was the Capri Mk1, TP. MkII and MkIII were never sold here. Those and the Celica are history. There’s no equivalent to the MR2, but then, Toyota never produced anything quite like the Falcon GTs, either.

And I do agree with you that, despite differences between fwd and rwd, Aurion is vying for the same purchasers as Falcon and Commodore are. Therefore, they’re competitors.

Boy wander who are you kidding saying you cant compare them, the Aurion has won the large car of the year for the last two years…. they are direct competitors.

Nm what exactly do Ford have in a reasonable price range. Ever had a Celica equivalent? No. MR2? No. Theyve always been boring.

Wheelnut … it said ‘some’ and nothing about the Torana.

Did i hit a nerve … !!

Lets not forget GM has also shelved some next generation V8′s in recent times because of the new CAFE regulations.
