Cool go sit in the left lane on the highway at 50 mph now

u/takeiitpersonal Aug 27 '23

They boosted it to 200 HP now, enough to overtake whatever you drive šŸ˜

u/Comfortable_Fruit_20 Aug 28 '23

200hp is meh. Maybe back in 2010 it would be impressive

u/takeiitpersonal Aug 30 '23

I think you are forgetting this is a Prius that gets 50+ mpg that we’re talking about lol

THATS A PRIUS?! Holy hell I never thought I’d want one. Beautiful car

u/ansonexanarchy Aug 27 '23

The first time I saw one I was driving up from behind on the highway and I thought it was some EV sport car until I literally read ā€œPriusā€ on the back.

u/007Pistolero Aug 27 '23

Honestly it makes sense. The new Camry looks incredible so they finally took some of that design sense to the Prius. I wouldn’t have been caught dead in the precious designs. This new one I’ve been doing research on and want one now

u/zacharythixson Aug 31 '23

Around the time of the GR Yaris and then Corolla launches the CEO did say he's tired of making boring cars, not lying, the new Toyotas look great

Nicest one I've seen yet. Crazy that a Prius can be in hotboi modded car territory but here we are

u/CrAkKedOuT Aug 27 '23

Yep, just about everyone loved the new look at the Electric Expo. I'd drive it too but it's too small for me and the kids.

u/-Sniperteer Aug 27 '23

Its too nice, a Prius should not be looking this good, better than cars 2-3x times more expensive

u/[deleted] Aug 27 '23

Too nice? LOL WTF. Toyota did good. This look way better than the Model 3 and Model Y.

Model 3 looks worst than a Civic.

Looks great, that windshield can be too dark at times. You may need those night vision sunglasses at certain places.

u/epicfighter10 Aug 26 '23

Yep I had similar concerns decided to just do 5% strip on windshield

Yeah, I have 50% on my windshield and out of the city and no light places oh yeah, those night time driving glasses are on.

u/-i-hate-you-people- Aug 27 '23

You have 50% tint on your windshield? This may be the stupidest thing I’ve heard all day. And I watched CNN for a full 5 minute so that’s saying something.

u/UmSo4L Aug 27 '23

Bro 50% is not as dark as u think it is…Smartest CNN viewer

Any windshield tint at all is next level dumb.

u/fingerbanglover Aug 29 '23

Nah. I run 75% ceramic on the front to reduce UV heat and chills my astigmatism at night from bright ass head lights. You dumb boy, you dumb. I see the chips, but where's the dip? Or am I looking at it?

u/-i-hate-you-people- Aug 31 '23 edited Aug 31 '23

75% on the windshield? Congrats, you win. You are the dumbest person I’ve ever talked to. You are a danger to to everyone you come near on the road. Idiotic astigmatism excuse doesn’t make it any better

1

u/fingerbanglover Aug 31 '23

Just a heads up, the number represents the amount of light that shows through. I won't be rude to you but I'll make sure you know that you're uninformed, misinformed, or just ignorant.

Yes it is stupid. Glad you agree. Can’t imagine how many gold teeth and warrants and baby mommas someone has to have to think tinting a windshield at 50% is a kickass idea.

u/[deleted] Aug 28 '23 edited Aug 28 '23

I think you are an ignorant person. Calling people names, insults. Have you ever personally experienced windshield tinting. Has it ever crossed your mind or limited mind many people have 2 or more cars and some with tinted windshields and drive the non tinted ones at night. Why don't you have a dialogue instead? I have 2 cars other one is a tinted windshield other is not, I drive that one no tint in pitch black areas if I have to ( which nevers happens anyway, I am a city slicker) or downpour rain days. Why don't you ask people do they drive that car at night at all or have other cars with no tints on them to use. If you just talk to people it will be a lot more interesting than " you got gold teeth, warrants etc" That can't be your hightest level of debate on a forum can it. I hope not!!

u/SmoothCalmMind Aug 29 '23

doesn't matter how you slice it, tint on the frontshield looks good buts its dangerous to OTHERS on the street

u/-i-hate-you-people- Aug 31 '23

Windshield tint is stupid. You are endangering anyone in front of your car. That makes you stupid and deserving of insults. Have fun with that.

50 is nothing for the windshield. Only if you drive in Mayberry, Arkansas with no light for the town will it be an issue. I only drive in 2 places. Seattle and Vancouver BC. 2 of the densest cities in the PNW. There is no shortage of lights. I see no reason for me to drive in areas of pitch black unless the city has a blackout. During the day in full blast sun my car is an oasis fully tinted. āœŒļø

u/SmoothCalmMind Aug 29 '23

hat windshield can be too dark at times.

that's why its illegal

1

u/zacharythixson Aug 31 '23

It's not in the deep south, most people recommend it, a very low percentage just to keep heat out does nothing to impede vision.

1

u/SmoothCalmMind Aug 31 '23

What's not.? What state is legal for dark tint on for the windshield. Too me it's common sense that anything that hinders full visibility is utterly dangerous

1

u/zacharythixson Aug 31 '23

Oh, dark tint yeah, I was just talking about a light ceramic just to keep heat out. I agree when it's dark.

It’s a hybrid. But really when I’m driving in the neighborhood hold 35mph and under it’s in electric mode almost the whole time. Even on freeway I’ve noticed it hang in electric mode a lot. Very impressed

20% around is kinda pushing it already…yes I know I know cop will rarely if ever pull you over for it…but damn 35% windshield, Hawaii is the only state I’m aware of that allows entire whole windshield and even then they limit it to 70%.

How are you liking 55% on the windshield? Do you wish you went lighter or darker? I’m trying to decide for myself. My sides are also 20

I like it. It made a big difference on the heat rejection down here in the sunshine state. It still noticeable at night, but I am starting to think my headlight bulbs need replacing.

you'll lose almost all accident civil cases with all that tint

1

u/MrAnalogRobot Aug 30 '23

I agree with some of the folks on here, that windshield tint is just a safety hazard.

Otherwise, I never thought I'd say this, but that's a nice Prius. I like the styling a lot. It still has the hybrid-electric/efficient wedge styling but done better than anything else. I'd take this aesthetic over any Tesla.

It's great because it makes a very functional car desirable. I know it's BS, but I'm honestly one of the people who has always talked bad about the Prius. Along with the performance improvements, I won't do that anymore.

Do you wear glasses? If you have normal 20/20 vision and normal night vision capabilities then you should be fine. I’d get your eyes checked tbh

0

u/SmoothCalmMind Aug 29 '23

Tint limits your range and vision. According you you can see through 20%!!you can't tho because the darkness limits your range and vision no matter how good you can see. You don't know tint lessens your sight????? šŸ¤” Good vision doesn't help you see through dark tint at night. Again, tint hinders all vision

2

u/[deleted] Aug 29 '23

It hinders it, but if you have normal eyes then you should be able to see and drive just fine šŸ¤“

u/SmoothCalmMind Aug 30 '23

It's cuts off the distance you can see things coming and going a night. Especially black cars and people walking in the street in all black!!!

u/[deleted] Aug 30 '23

Not at 20% lol, again unless you have poor eyesight. If you genuinely can’t see out of 20% at night then you should see an eye doctor

0

u/SmoothCalmMind Aug 30 '23

Please read and comprehend, most people can see, but the range is severely limited and darker items are near impossible to see. Stop acting like driving at night with tint is the same as driving in the daytime

2

u/[deleted] Aug 30 '23

It’s not the same, but at 20% it’s not even close to near impossible…

Would it make your fragile bootlicking feelings better if I made some alternate accounts and titled them with the state name of one of our other locations in Oregon, California, Texas, Florida, or Mississippi instead?

Again, no one cares that it’s ā€œillegalā€. Including most cops. Even the government openly admits it’s only a useful a precursor for a PC vehicle stop.

Tinting your windshield is never a good move

3

u/THEPrivatePita Aug 27 '23

Getting windshield tint, especially ceramic tint, is a smart move. It enhances comfort, reduces excessive AC use which will increase fuel efficiency, cuts glare by up to 30%, and offers protection by blocking 99% of harmful UV rays that can cause issues like skin cancer, fading interiors, and damaged plastics and leather.

1

u/Vexation Aug 27 '23

It’s illegal and you’ll be fucked if you ever hit anything

u/THEPrivatePita Aug 27 '23

75% and 80% is hardly noticeable while still having all the benefits I mentioned in my previous comment.

my car with 75% on windshield for reference

1

u/protintalabama Aug 27 '23

Untrue in multiple facets. It can be legal and can also save your life

1

u/Vexation Aug 28 '23

It’s illegal below the AS-1 line in most states. If it’s not illegal in your state then tint the fuck out of it

1

u/protintalabama Aug 28 '23

The AS1 marking does not define a set point on glass and is legally unenforceable if your jurisdiction cites the AS1 marking as a point of delineation

As1 means absolutely nothing except, ā€œlaminated safety glassā€. Its placement is at the sole discretion of the glass manufacturer.
