Wanna hear the new Toyota/Lexus Premium Horns?

You can hear the different tones between the stock Toyota/Lexus horns & the new upgraded 2006 Premium Horns. But this page requires FLASH player, so deactivate Zone Alarm & crank up your PC speakers.

Cool! How much, and do they fit??

Areometer · 02-05-2006, 05:47 PM

Should be around $59.00 USD + domestic freight. Let me import a pair to make sure they fit our Prius. I will post here again once I have an affirmative answer.

Over this past two years as a Prius owner I've come to accept the differences between my many former Audis and Saabs and my Prius. The one exception to these acceptances though is the wimpy Prius horn. It's embarrassing.

Just tell me where I can buy this new item and I'll happily be first in line for purchase.

haha.. so basically upgrade the Prius' horn to the Camry's horn haha.

I'd also be interested in getting a real sounding horn

That just means you are lucky enough to have never been in a situation in which you need to alert another driver about a potentially dangerous situation...like someone slowly drifting over into your lane. I've had this happen several times. Sometimes I'm so shocked that it is happening that I forget to honk the horn and just move evasively to avoid a collision. After the fact, I wish I had thought of honking my horn first and then swing my car away only if the other driver didn't respond to the honk.
I agree with you though, if what you were trying to say is that people shouldn't use their horns as a way to vent anger/frustration.

I've only had to use the horn once, when a driver who was on her cell phone traveled across 4 lanes of traffic from the right lane to the left lane without bothering to signal or look to see if traffic was clear, and cut me off, going about 20 mph when the rest of traffic (including me) were going 45. I cannot recall how the horn sounded as I slammed on my brakes to avoid hitting her.

Does the Prius stock horn sound like the button on the right, or the one on the left? I can't read Japanese.

They both sound good to me, I like the one on the left the best. Better than my former super wimpy Saturn horn which was very embarrassing to have to use.
