Toyota Prius test drive since 2009 hatchback

Origami on the tatami!

For a great idea, you will have to give a lot of money. Prices have not yet been named, but it is already clear that the green icon, the hybrid car Toyota Prius III, will not become a means of getting out of the economic crisis. But he is an optimistic attempt to prevent other, much more terrible ecological cataclysms. The start of the program in Russia October 2009.
The riding presentation took place in Sweden the kingdom of crystal clear lakes exactly where it was supposed to be. In 2010, Stockholm will become a European green capital, and now absolutely everything is ready for this. Snow -white produces in sterile silence leave the parking lot, and sunny bunnies jump along their glass roofs, at the same time loading the battery with fun. White cars silently float past the quietly grazing white horses. On the horizon, a parade of lush clouds from cotton wool in a blue-blue sky. A special bond display shows the average fuel consumption 3.8 l/100 km.
3.8 l/100 km in real life and 2.5 l/100 km (my personal record, 0.4 liters inferior to the absolute) in a special 20-kilometer test site. However, we are not talking about economy as such, but about environmental safety. In Germany, the new Prius costs from 25,000 euros, in the USA from $ 22,000, which means that in Russia its price will approach $ 40,000 in September. The company's representatives claim (and the previous generation of these machines proves) that the Toyota Prius III service (and The need for it is absent) compensates for its owners the initial costs.
Even so, but the priest, first of all, religion is a modern faith in the salvation of mankind and planet from self -destruction. Each trip is a rite of sacrifice of their pleasure from speed and power to please the well -being of the forests of the Amazon. And each of your trip to Prius is the lulling of the sins of Toyota, in the middle of the formula-1 season, going with its team in third place in the Cup of Designers.
The Prius project started in 1994. At the moment, 1,205,000 cars around the world have been sold. More of them fifty stars of the first magnitude: from Brad Pitt to Prince Charles. The first buyer of Prius III in Russia will be the actress and activist of the charity fund give life! Chulpan Khamatova.
The new Prius has not undergone fundamental technical changes, it has become only more perfect. On a battery without recharging, he can still drive a maximum of 3 km. But different-shaped visual color schemes now demonstrate on a special display the operation of a hybrid installation. High-tech has become more noticeable now not only in engineering, but also in design. The new priest in all respects is more modern, but as before it is still very far from the usual average of the 21st century. He is a green icon of his time, he is a technical masterpiece, he is the embodiment of the courage and valor of a Japanese company, who was not afraid to bring such a different car to the country of long -decommissioned, but forever non -utilized KamAZs.
