    The Gen 3 Prii have been taking a lot of heat lately due to HG failure, as well as other, and I quote, "turd" generation issues.

    I found this on a forum I moderate on, that (I hope not) may be on it's last legs like Hubble.

    Sorry about that. When the C-MAX Energi forum (similar name just replace hybrid with Energi) went down it was a big surprise even to the moderator (fotomoto). I tested the link and it did work (I'm on TapaTalk on my cell phone. I will try to open on a computer to verify. It has been acting like you note. I thought I'd try to grab some of the wealth of analytical prowess from user Prius 3 golfer over there before the site surprises us and suddenly goes down for good...
