    So how does the plug-in work like a volt when you run out of your 20 mi or 25 whatever it is then you're on the ice engine only your ice engine runs a generator to charge your battery which runs the business I don't think so must be on the engine?

    Interesting...the reviewer said the prime can get up to 84km, which is higher than the NA prime.

    Also, the rear of the EU prime has extra LEDs, just above the license plate?

    It's the difference in testing standards. WLTP results in a little better than the US EPA. I think Canada totally follows the EPA method now. When the US makes rules and calculation changes, Canada usually takes a couple of years to update theirs. That's why you might see different numbers on past documents between the too. South Korea also uses the EPA test cycles, but their pre test rules might different.

    My guess is the light is a rear fog one. Europe actually requires real fog lights. At least in some places.

    Not a review, but some Japanese marketing I hadn't seen, from Toyota Japan's site:

    プリウスジャーナル(PRIUS JOURNAL) | トヨタ自動車WEBサイト

    One theme there seems to be "people starting a new life", and getting them to check out the Prius, doing the same thing.

    But a couple of particular things caught my eye - one, in this discussion with the designer:

    Vol.3 特別対談:ブランドを再定義するデザイン思考 | プリウスジャーナル | トヨタ自動車WEBサイト

    And this small gallery of photos from the G5 production line - I've seen a fair few pics and videos of the Prius line, but none with the G5 yet:

    None of these reviews have much value. You really need to test-drive the car thoroughly before you buy it to see it for yourself what you like and don't like.

    For example, that review found that front seats were uncomfortable, while others said the opposite. Yet, it praises the rear-seat space. Come on now, in comparison to what? LOL Totally useless reviews, really.

    Coming back to front seats, in my limited test drive, they didn't feel particularly comfortable, but again, you must see it for yourself.
