    I'd only replace the Prius with the Lexus version (can't remember the combination of letters and numbers but it ends with an H LOL) of the Prius, or a plug-in Prius. Otherwise no other cars compare!!

    definitely something with more power, quicker acceleration, and more interior room. Which includes, every other car on the planet.

    Very funny. What's your problem with Prius dude? Mine makes 900hp. Pure electricity. Get with the program.

    Some kind of small to medium SUV/crossover. Rav-4, CR-V, Venza, Ford Edge maybe, Highlander (the hybrid is too expensive for that vehicle's role), Mercury Mariner hybrid. Maybe a 2010 Prius if the driving position and seat adjustments are a lot better...

    I just miss having something SUV-ish in the family.

    we have 2 hybrids.. a prius and a civic hybrid.. when either one dies, i think i'll replace it with a fast car with at least 300hp.. right they save me lots of gas but i'm sick of driving slow cars.....

    So some time in 2023 you'll be doing this?

    Seriously, I wouldn't start planning for the demise of a Toyota or Honda product until it was at least 15 years old.

    It sounds like you are ready for a Tesla Roadster.
    www.teslamotors.com

    The Tesla Roadster is 3x more efficient than a Toyota Prius.
    It gets the equivalent of 140 mpg but uses only electricity.

    0-60 in 3.9 seconds
    125 mph top speed
