Hahahaha.
Toyota articles are fantastic for CA webhits! Going through the history (back 1 year) any article with Toyota in the heading generates about 2.4 times the comments of any other kind of article. With that kind of ‘pageview’ I would, as editor, post EVERYTHING about Toyota’s. Helps the ratecard with advertisers and all that.. pays the bills and the circulation figures help to make the manafacturers take CA seriously so you can read the expensive, exotic car reviews that would not happen without that cred. So lay off CA or start you own website and then you can never mention the 400 press releases that Toyo sends you per month.

Fine?

Amazing how passionate people get when CA posts any Toyota story.

Well, it seems everyone is over the Prius. Okay you want something different? Give us a story on when the new Mégane will be coming to Australia!
Sorry, I had to say it. Also, apparently they will be bringing it here in the Coupé form first to attempt to change their image to a more classier car-maker. Why not bring the Laguna Coupé or the (now dated) Vel Satis?

Sorry, I should have made my comment two separate paragraphs – two separate observations.

Not trying to say that nay-sayers on the Prius’ solar features are under-educated, just an observation that people get a bit petty during Toyota-related articles – and no – I’m not a Toyota driver.

That is all.

Using a button on the keyfob, the air-conditioning can run for up to three minutes before the car is occupied, cooling the cabin down gradually and efficiently

Sorry FREAK…I must have read it wrong!

I’ve heard this solar panel feature will only be available on the iTech, not the base. Once again Toyota have given us a crap line-up, whereas overseas there’s many different models and option packs available.

The radar system for adaptive cruise and crash prevention is pretty impressive. Once again, from what I’ve heard only the iTech scores the radar system.

Btw, the solar panel only powers the HVAC blower fan, not the A/C as some of you think.

“Guys, this is a world’s first in the way the system has been designed, the idea is a world first, but this method of implementation is.”

Well, Alborz, if this is the level of your writing then go back to school. This sentence makes no sense at all. Read before you post !

Guys, this is a world’s first in the way the system has been designed, the idea isn’t a world first, but the of implementation is.

Also the reason it was posted again was due to more information being available.

We’ve got some really interesting photos of new Ford cars coming up soon – so we are definitely still chasing cars!
