    Wouldn't it be nice to have a convertible hybrid? Toyota is already there. All they have to do is put the camry solara.

    you wouldn't want Toyota to develop a handling package that doesn't void you warranty?


    i would. i've done mods on subarus and not all aftermarket parts work well. i prefer the manufacturer to make the system

    i don't drive fast enough for a handling pkg. but i wouldn't mind if they made one for others. just not sure if they see hybrids that way. honda for sure.

    Be nice if they just offered The Prius with a straight sunroof.

    Attaching it to the expensive purchase of a gimicky solar panel that mostly is just a waste (imo) is a downer.

    I know, I know, I've heard it before, those with the Solar Package can tell me all they want how having the ventilation option with the solar panel is great....but with a big solar panel on the top of your automobile? It still seems like mostly a waste of resources.

    I think a LOT of people would like the Tech Package and the upgrades of a Prius V, with simply a lightweight sunroof sans heavy glass solar panel.

    Except that the Solara is dead...


    Maybe a new sports car hybrid... it'll depend on the success of the CR-Z.

    Saw the CR-Z yesterday ... teeny little car. Short wheelbase, wide stance, looks like fun to drive.
