    Does anybody know of any pictures or videos of the underside of the new Prius? I’m curious about the catalytic converter exposure.

    I'm waiting for car care nut or savagegeese review, they normally would get it up on a lift to show underside
    as for cats, I wouldn't worry about it, newer gen Prius have cross member braces that hinder sawing and also they risk having coolant squirt on their face if they cut the line near the cat so I haven't really heard of any thefts on 4th gen

    Yep, we love the Car Care Nut! For the first time (that I've seen) he's trashing a Lexus....the new Lexus UX model. After watching it, I'd have to agree with him on that one....big mistakes by Lexus which is surprising!

    I'm anxious to see his review of the 2023 Prius...especially the new 2.0 liter ICE engine and interior.

    I can try taking one when the weather cooperates, but it's rain today and snow tonight! I'll have to do my best with the ground clearance though, it didn't come with a jack.

    The power train of the UX was about the only thing he was completely positive on, and it's the same as the new Prius, so it's safe to say he will like it. His main knock on it will probably be the lack of an engine cover to help reduce the noise of the high-pressure fuel pump.

    Thanks for the offer. I'm sure somebody like the Car Care Nut will have it on a lift soon enough. No need to lay on the ground. :)

    I think he'll complain about the interior space and the practicality.
