      New Toyota Prius HEV LE model - 3 days of motoring

      Ditto to both ... I have heard one person make the comparison to the Lambo and it was during the time I had the rental. It's not very upright and I had my issue with the height of the door opening when entering and exiting the car.  It initially was VERY upright and kind of frumpy looking.

      New Toyota Prius HEV LE model - 3 days of motoring

      INTERIOR PHOTOS View of the front of the cabin from the driver's door ... this gives a clearer view of how the 2 main screens are placed on the dashboard View of the front of the cabin from the passenger's door This is the main instrument pod and, around the speed readout, the distribution of important data is clear (which seems to be how many pods are now organized, which is appreciated because setting up Bluetooth and all the controls takes a slight amount of time).  There are also green indicators for "ready" and "EV" mode At times, I did not care for the race car type vantage point from where seated and it took adjustment of the seat and the tilt steering wheel to get it closer to one's comfort level The console is clean and simple in its layout It's a tug to the left and forward for reverse ... and a tug to the left and rearward for drive This is the rear seating area of the passenger cabin I do like the roofline and the gullwing feature in the rear door ... this shows what over the shoulder visibility looks like The rear storage area is respectable and, with the roofline, it seems a little more vertical, so it was advantageous to put luggage on its sides Thankfully, there is this cover over the rear and its texture and attachment is similar to other cars ... and, in Toyota, it was similar to the one in their economy car Aygo that they sell in Europe

      EXTERIOR PHOTOS Side view ... and some palm trees Angled front view Angled rear view ... note the interesting taillamp arrangement Low-slung, sports car appearance, yet it's a practical small HEV sedan that's come a long way

      This is not good for them and continues to show how terribly run Tesla is. Oil and gas supplier says Tesla is ‘refusing to pay’ $2 million in past-due bills – and that chaotic staffing has only made it worse
