how much are they new?
Come warm yourself by the fire
Too much.
I think $34K?
Its honestly a crap car - I prefer driving my 20 year old mazda than it
If you would like me to give you a list of why its crap PM me.
Actually here is is the list of features. Fuck knows why half of these should be considered a 'feature'

Reactor Online. Sensors Online. Weapons Online. All Systems Nominal.

That's only 20 km to the litre, I would have thought a hybrid would do better than that, my CB 1300 can do better than 20 km to the litre !! & my old BMW F650 G/S could do close to 30km per litre.I managed 800 kms on 40 litres in my Hybrid....

Simple, its a car of nearly 1.5 tons, not a bike that weighs a couple hundred kilos.That's only 20 km to the litre, I would have thought a hybrid would do better than that, my CB 1300 can do better than 20 km to the litre !! & my old BMW F650 G/S could do close to 30km per litre.
5 litres per 100km is pretty damn good for any car and few can do that kind of economy.... my best so far was 4.4 l/100km on the motorway, but hard to maintain it that once on hilly country roads.

Around town? I doubt it very much. On the open road I can manage better.
The instructions are simple...
No. Open road. Unimpeding traffic conditions etc. Granted - it's rare. But possible. Why would I (or anyone) want a poxy hybrid, in comparison?
Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?
Forum whore
Because as long as you ignore the extra energy used making your car. And the extra energy used in carting around a dead battery pack for 10 years after it stops working. And the environmental cost of manufacturing the battery from rare metals. And the environmental cost of disposing of the toxic metals.
THEN
You can claim to be environmentally sound.
And thats GOT to be good.
David must play fair with the other kids, even the idiots.

If you syphon fuel from your rich neighbours Prius, and fill your thirsty 1980's V8, can you claim the poor fuel economy on them?
stormrider
Of course you can,but the old V8 will only run on 95+ octane while the prius uses 91. You could ask them to change to 95 so that your old tank will run better though

Well for a start you did not read my post properly. I said 800km on 40 litres. Further, that was with half town/peak traffic and half open road running. Your post said your car used 60 litres for 1000km.
I can do motorway running well in excess of your claimed 1000km on the same litres you statedl. The hybrid honda will do far further on 60L, so trumps your claims easily.
Spoke to Holden and they said they have never had any of their commodores anywhere near the claimed mileage you posted. I also drove them for years and also know they are not that good.... not even 700km at best.
Weapons of Mass Acceleration
Who cares? I don't.
I use it for fuel economy for the 700km a week to work and back. Saves me $2,500 a year in fuel over my previous run-about, but costs only $200 per year (amortised) to replace batteries. Well worth it.

Prius is one ugly car and way too overpriced. The honda hybrid is a far better deal at 60% of the cost to purchase. Most of their range will be hybrids by 2012.
Mine was second hand and bought it for half its market value from an elderly driver who stopped driving and basically gave it away. Sweet....
