First off, I'm NOT a Prius lover but I do love my Camry hybrid (damn thing has more power than our previous gas only model)....

whats the "B" on the stick for?

It is an aggressive "braking" mode for the CVT that help slow the car and maintain speed going downhill, the f*in things just fly going down hill w/o even being on the throttle...

the best part about the prius is the battery life. it's no longer than a normal auto battery (4-6years). so- when the time comes to replace your battery, have fun forking out 2k dollars. on top of the rediculous price you already paid for the thing. things to keep in mind.

Ummm, not! The standard warranty on all the hybrid components is 10 years, the mileage varies by year from the early ones. My Camry hybrid is 10yrs 120,000miles on ALL hybrid components.

And now you've found one of the real reasons for these dipshits parking it in the leftmost lane at 55.  They can't take their f***ing eyes off that thing and they don't notice the 10 cars piled up behind them.  They never should have included that feature. 

It can be turned off and they should have had it turn off automatically after x-amount of time IMHO. People would most likely get tired of turning it back on eventually. I hope!

They're like mechanical roaches.... They're F*CKING EVERYWHERE!!!!! bang head bang head

Only here in the Bay area, or I guess cities in General, I am sure if you drove though the Mid West people would be staring and wondering what the hell that thing is. 

I remember when I first got my MINI, and did a road trip to.. Portland (shocking) people in Cresent City and rural Oregon looked at my car like it crashed down from space.  laughingdp laughingdp laughingdp

Here's the ultimate alternative vehicle that's actually cool: The Tesla. It's all electric and the body was designed by the same guy who designed the Lotus Elise. (BTW, the Tesla dealership just opened in Menlo Park.)
