Default HSD "Virtual Drive" Simulator Game

Ok, time to test your Prius driving skill!

Courtesy of our colleagues at Toyota Motor Corporation in Japan, check out the Hybrid Synergy Drive "Virtual Drive" simulator. Take a drive through the beautiful city of Kyoto while trying to maximize your efficiency.

All player scores are captured and ranked globally, so you can talk smack about your hypermiling ability!

(In full disclosure, it's not SUPER realistic, but it should provide a few minutes of entertainment. Hope you enjoy.)

Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, I could not get the game to download so I guess I'll have the lowest score

You didn't mention Gran Turismo 4! It has a special Prius mode.

You need to get the kids hooked on this. Nintendo, Xbox, Playstation, etc. game consuls. Once the kids get hooked on it, the parents - out of curiosity - naturally become hooked too.

I have a feeling Prius ownership is of little help.
Thanks for stealing my glory.

I wonder how shonky this game is, you aren't even on my chart floppyarms!

I just played a second time and entered a different name and location. My first game score wasn't there any more. I suspect the score card is a fake.

Yes, we did notice Toyota!
