Technology advancement is something that can really surprise you. 10 years back we were so happy to hapy a colour screen handphone, now it is all adroid & apple which has a processor faster than a pentium III. Google this word "Toyota Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicle" then u can see Toyota itself is planning to launch FCV in 2015, give it another few more years to be mass produced and bring the cost down.

I believe the FCV technology is there, there was a conspiracy theory saying that those petrol giant are blocking or even car manufacturer pay a high price to stop it, who knows, time will tell.

I think our automotive policy will failed in the end trying to attract car manufacturer to assemble hybrid car over here, coz they themselves know it is not the answer to the future.

actually battery technology is not moving forward as fast as the rest of the technology.

look at the iphone 4 now and the nokia 3210. they are both limited by battery size.

the conspiracy of oil is true, but not by oil giants. its by countries.

why dont you ask malaysia to sponsor cars using only EV, no they wont, because we are oil producing country.

If US/CHina is not encouraging it, you can bet not many ppl can do/research better than them.

the only advantage country that are not oil producing is japan. thus they are willing to invest in battery,hybrid,EV and so on.

Malaysia,US, germany,russia, uk, france, taiwan, china. middle east no need to mention. see here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_oil-producing_states

so, now you know why nobody wanna invest too much in battery that will kill petrol price?

The only problem with hybrids & ev cars it's extensive use of rare earth minerals to create the motor & batteries, which isn't eco & soon to be costly as the demand rises. China is currently the largest supplier of rare earth mineral.

Toyota engineers is coming up with motor which has no rare earth mineral being used.

because now china has limited the export of rare earth, so, japan again has to think of another way.

US and Australia have a lot of rare earth, but its just cheaper to import from china biggrin.gif

Bro, there is always a willing buyer, willing seller.

Boycott UMW Prius is not a doable way, if you think this way, you also have to boycott all non-national cars, because the corrupted government make more money when you buy non-national cars. buying hybrid cars is giving money to UMW C-executive pocket money instead of BN politician pocket money. I would give UMW money rather than giving to BN, at least you get the premium quality CBU cars, not the cheap low quality CKU non-national cars.

hey you are right!!!!!!!

when you buy either hybrids, insight or prius, of course fuel economy is the highlight,but you cant really use the fuel savings as a gauge on how much u save on the cost of the car. I have friends who question if buying a hybrid is worth it since they did similar calculations to yours and that the return you get from fuel saving can never justify the price of the car.

My opinion is that these hybrids are considered 'premium' products for now and that explains the 'premium' price u have to pay. which is why i dont quite agree when you compare the 40k difference solely on the fuel savings..

Buy a hybrid if you want to enjoy the quietness and the fact that ure doing the world a favour 'eco' wise, enjoying yourself knowing how much fuel you are saving over a conventional car. plastic rims, glass rims, it doesnt matter does it?and cmon, im sure you're matured enough to leave the name-calling out of your post at least?

hhmmm.....10k is enough for honda city to put 5000 liter petrol dy....

but then, wait wait.....if buy myvi, the money(rm50k) can put one life time already.......

so....if we're going to buy cheap car, then we just buy saga myvi, because its the best/reasonable to pocket.

if we buy car more than that(rm50k), its beause we simply enjoy burning our money for car installment and petrol. biggrin.gif

why buy prada when plastic bag is just 50cent? biggrin.gif

why someone always trying to justify their buying?

is it because they had a hard time paying the installment and trying to justify the payment by the fuel saving?

have you ever seen ppl buying 100k car always attack ppl buy 200k saying they are dumb and bla bla bla and bla bla bla and not environemnt frenly and bla bla bla? tongue.gif

yea, camry is the best car, why buy 3 series and 5 series? this sounds funny right? tongue.gif

no, my reply is not actually to you, just to share with prius C basher...car havent launch they already butthurt? tongue.gif

aiyooo.....they need kyjelly.....

yea, prius C is not the best hybrid. lets buy fiesta and keep rm20k to put petrol biggrin.gif win-win.

you guys buy hybrid car to drag race ah? hahaha. i like the prius of course between the 2 as the selection of power, eco and electric mode. Thats the kind of car i like, reason being when you are driving and feel like going a little faster, press power button, Sometimes when you are tired in a traffic jam, press electric. Or else when you like to just cruise around, press eco. or auto. which ever.

Only thing i dont quite fancy prius, the interior, it is dark and gloomy. like in england. anyway, in our beloved malaysia. price of petrol is still cheap. yeah. wait till price per liter becomes, RM 5.00 or RM 8.00 per liter. you will rush out to get a electric or a hybrid as soon as possible. anyway bash me bash me if you like, but prius is still better than honda IMA. thats a fact. Yaya, the insight and CRZ has better power. Better fuel efficiency, As i say, you buy hybrid to drag race? where is the fun in that.

dont worry man, the petrol wont go up so fast.

remember, the nasi lemak or wan tan mee are still transport with petrol powered car.

if i were you,i'll worry how much the food costs when it rm5/rm8 a liter biggrin.gif

oh, get a job that allows you to work from home lo

biggrin.gif and rm2.70 a liter costs a PM his job tongue.gif

9actually prius is fine, esp after UMW priced it at camry level.

so, its rm10k more than altis, and same price with camry.

its a win win to all.

since the interior is similar to altis/camry ( i dunno) . so the small price difference is acceptable.

I agree. Hopefully it will look better in real life. It's just so ugly...

ppl explain something, to be polite we should just rclxms.gif rclxms.gif rclxms.gif

i think now the new game in this hybrid is....

whoever save less fuel = real hybrid.



prius= bigger car, use less fuel = fake hybrid/part hybrid

xxxxxxx = smaller car, use more fuel, no aircon at jam = real hybrid/full hybrid.

So what the fuss about if the NiMH pack fail totally time?
The car cannot start, cannot move, then just tow away, and change a new pack.

Even ordinary car, time belt can be broken after 80-100k KM, and car cannot even start also.
Radiator leaking, water pump leaking, car also cannot start.
Just tow away and get it fix.

Every ordinary car after 8-10 years, parts also got spoil here, spoil there.
Choose a car just because can start even if NiMH pack fail time that may only happen once after 8 years or even longer period?
NiMH fails, just change one.
What is the worry?
I don't find this is a good reason to say this is a good car or not.

cant you sense it? one is trying very very hard to imply/hint that toyota hybrid is inferior than the opponent biggrin.gif

Prius hybrid battery is RM11.5K, SA told me that Prius C is slightly cheaper than it. everytime when ask the hybrid battery questions, they will try to avoid to answer, UMW looks like no confident for the hybrid battery!

However, Prius battery cost is around RM5K in Taiwan, so if there is such a huge price gap, I believe people will try to bring in the "water set".
