    Lets use this thread to give praise, boast, and brag about what our new 2010's are better than.

    ...My new prius will always be better than a Hummer.

    Anything. The headline statistic of the modern car industry is mpg. Prius has the highest on the market. Ergo, Prius owns everything.

    :cool: Corinthians 13:4 - Smug is not boastful... :cool:

    I wouldn't have bought a Prius if I thought there was something better, would I?

    Better than walking when work is 37 kilometres away and you're a shift worker.
    Better than a motorbike when it's cold and raining. Also gets better fuel consumption than my 650 did.

    Even at 115, I'm still getting FAR better mileage than that Hummer ;)

    For a family of 5, my Prius is better than anything else out that's available TODAY. Once the Tesla S comes out w/ extended range batteries, the argument may shift.

    Same goes for a US Estima equivalent. My wife will drop the 2004 in a heartbeat for something a bit more multi-kid friendly.

    Let me know when you see one (a hummer) there.

    I saw a news article about a person who made their Hummer all electric and it can go forever (almost) because there is so much room for batteries. Makes you think...
