Toyota Prius vs BMW M3

[ejnight]

At work and they have blocked video This sucks

I love Top Gear and agree there is not a shred of Journalism there but I agree that a car pushed to it's limit will get bad mileage.

While it seems obvious to most people that driving a car aggressively will result in poor gas mileage, in my experience most Prius driver's just don't get it. They drive the piss out of the car, apparently thinking all the extra money they spent to have a tiny gasoline motor and a tiny electric motor will offset their led foot. Just two days ago on my way home from the beach, i was going about 85mph (on I-40) when i notice some fat bitch with her son in the car approaching exceedingly quickly, weaving in and out of traffic, and making a general ass of herself--in a Prius. I just moved into the right lane and laughed as she went by...what a waste of money.

The point is, no matter how slow you drive an m3, it'll never have the POTENTIAL to get 50mpg like a prius does.

I don't see where all of the Prius hate comes from. Sure, there are some "green snobs" who drive them, but have you looked at m3 or any new BMW drivers? They are some of the biggest snobs in the world. Somehow that never matters though...

Didn't you watch the rest of that top gear? All the "Cocks" moved to audi! Or so Clarkson says... :razz:

BMW drivers have a pretty bad rep, its just we're putting the green snobs in the spotlight right now. Why must you self-hate?!

Never say never.

Prius hate comes from the elitist attitude that these drivers have been expressing as though they are better than us for driving "primitive" fuel wasting vehicles.


This is an interesting video though, I wonder how many people actually research and do their hw about a prius before purchasing, or just listen to all the commercials and jump on the green bandwagon.

Where the prius shines is city driving. Braking charges the battery and at low speeds it uses electric power. The thing actually gets much better mileage under city conditions than highway speeds.

My boss has one - its pretty gay other than the gas mileage.

Indeed. I love him to death and think he's pants-shitting funny, but he's not always 'reliable' when it comes to investigative journalism, or even just facts & reality ;)

He Britain's Rush Limbaugh.

He Britain's Rush Limbaugh.

Not even close, Rush is a moron who spouts on constantly with uninformed crap about politics. Clarkson is funny and talks about cars. Big difference.

[joshh]

The only reason to own a Prius is the gas mileage...then you find out how much it costs and there's no reason to ever own one.

Yeah, I know... life would be boring if we were always rational. Just pointing out the other side of the story.

Unless you actually like the amenities , technology, spacious interior, and sexy hunchback styling ;).

Or if you want to support the hybrid segment, which will lead to competition amongst manufacturers and ultimately make the technology better. The price of crude is only going to rise.
