Podcasts about Toyota Prius

Welcome to Episode 85 of the One for the Money podcast! Some of you may remember that best-selling book The Automatic Millionaire. It told readers how to easily become a millionaire with a few simple steps. But in this episode, I'll reveal the sad truth: too many people aren't becoming automatic millionaires because they're spending too much money on automobiles. Yes, cars and trucks are putting the brakes on a better future for many Americans. I'll also share the massive benefit of driving one's car until the wheels come off.In the tips, tricks, and strategies section, I'll share some car-buying tips.In this episode...Automating Savings [1:23]The Financial Impact of Car Ownership [2:04]When Is It Ok to Buy a Nice Car? [6:35]The Automatic Millionaire, written by David Bach, became an international bestseller because it gave us that magical formula for becoming a millionaire. Bach's magic trick? Automating your savings and spending. He basically tells you to set it and forget it. You set up automatic contributions to your 401k or IRA, and it's that easy to be on the road to riches. He even argues that you don't need to be making a six-figure income to become a millionaire—you just need to make sure your savings and spendings are adjusted on autopilot and viola, decades later you reap the rewards.And yet, despite this brilliant advice, millions of people are still missing the automatic millionaire bus, and they're doing it by throwing too much of their money at automobiles. While an automobile is designed to take you places, far too often, it takes owners to a future that is much poorer and less fulfilling than it otherwise could be.Now, you might ask, is car ownership really that impactful? Let's look at the numbers from 2024:Americans owe around $1.655 trillion in auto loan debt. That's right, trillion with a T.Over 80% of new car purchases in 2024 are financed, and the average car payment is $742 for new cars and $525 for used ones. (That's a lot of money that could be used to build wealth instead.)Now, why is this a problem? I mean, cars are cool, right? But here's the thing—unless you're driving a classic car like a 23-window VW van (I can dream), cars lose value. In fact, a new car drops thousands of dollars in value as soon as you drive it off the lot. So, people are paying $525-$747 a month for years... for something that's losing value fast. In fact, over 30% of people with car loans have negative equity, meaning their car is worth less than what they owe. Here is something even scarier: When a car is damaged, such as in a natural disaster, insurance will either pay to repair a car's damage or give the driver a lump sum equal to the value of the car. When the damage is severe, insurers usually choose the lump sum. That means if your car with negative equity is totaled. You will be out of a car and still have money you owe on it. Even when the damage isn't severe, it can still pose a huge financial challenge. An Oct 2024 article from the WSJ featured a 34-year-old gentleman who had noticed the main display screen on his new vehicle would often disappear. The car's backup camera didn't always work, and the car would make a screeching noise when in reverse. He decided to bring the car into a local dealership, hoping to trade it in. Only to have the dealership tell him it was worth roughly $24,000, which was just under half of the roughly $50,000 he still owed on his loan. Now, I should confess that I drive a 15-year-old Toyota Prius that I had purchased used. It's been a great car, and I hope it will continue to be for years to come. My wife's car is 7 years old, and it replaced her 16-year-old car at the time. However, I must also...

Recuerdo la primera vez que probé el Toyota Prius, allá en el lejano 2001… no me convenció. La idea me parecía interesante pero la ejecución fallida. Y ni mucho menos imagine que este coche cambiaria el mundo del automóvil tal y como lo ha hecho. Sin duda, y de lejos, el coche más influyente del Siglo XXI, por su técnica… y también por su marketing. Y que puede morir a manos de los SUV... La idea era buena: Para pasar de 0 km/h a, pongamos unos 50 km/h consumes energía. Y cuando tienes que parar, por ejemplo, en un semáforo, esa energía la “tiras” en forma de calor a la atmósfera… en vez de aprovecharla para producir electricidad que luego te ayuda a mover el coche. Leí la información técnica de la marca y pensé “¡qué gran idea!” Luego bajé a probar el coche y lo primero que pensé fue, ¿un híbrido tiene se ser feo? Y es que os recuerdo que los primeros híbridos, todos japoneses, como por ejemplo el Honda Insight aparecido muy poco después, estéticamente estaban cortados por el mismo patrón. Y luego fui a probarlo… lo primero chocante, que ahora no le es tanto, es que dabas al contacto y el motor térmico no arrancaba… acelerabas suave y el coche se movía en silencio y a las pocas decenas de metros o antes si acelerabas más arrancaba el motor. Era un coche torpe, pues el motor de gasolina ofrecía poco más de 70 CV y los 45 CV extras del motor eléctrico no siempre estaban disponibles… esto para un coche que se acercaba a los 1.300 kg, era poca cosa. También chocaba que no se “sincronizaban” las revoluciones del motor térmico, que solo las intuías o oído, con la velocidad, fruto del cambio CVT y de la ayuda eléctrica. Había que tomarse las cosas con calma. El coche era amplio, silencioso, confortable, pero anodino… nada seductor… algo que sucede en muchos Toyota, pero más en este. Pero todo cambiaba cuando observabas los consumos, sobre todo en ciudad: ¡Eran extraordinariamente bajos. En 2003 llega la segunda generación supuso un paso adelante enorme. Desde luego en estética, pero también en eficiencia, pues se anunciaba que era capaz de recorrer 35,5 km por litro… una cifra optimista, pero lo cierto es que mejoraba en mucho al anterior. Confieso que al volante mis impresiones cambiaron y pensé “pues me temo que esto de la hibridación ha llegado para quedare… este coche va muy bien”. Y así era. Y además se convirtió en la viva imagen del ecologismo lo cual le convirtió en… … una estrella de Hollywood. California es la cuna del cine occidental y uno de los estados históricamente con normas más estrictas en lo que a emisiones se refiere. Y de pronto, el Prius se convirtió en un coche símbolo del ecologismo y todos los famosos y estrellas de cine que querían presumir de ecologistas, tenían que conducir uno. No puedo citar todos, pero no me resisto a incluir una pequeña lista… por que os aseguro que es pequeña: Alicia Silverstone, Billy Crystal, Brad Pitt, Cameron Diaz, Harrison Ford, Jack Nicholson, Kirk Douglas, Leonardo DiCaprio, Robin Williams, Salma Hayek, Susan Sarandon, Tom Hanks y Will Ferrell, entre otros muchos… una verdadera constelación de estrellas. La tercera generación el Prius aparece en 2009 y en realidad era una puesta al día de la anterior… pero ¿solo eso? Pues no, porque con ello llegó la segunda revolución de los híbridos. En 2012 se lanza el híbrido enchufable que yo probé a primeros del año siguiente. Lo tuve una semana. En esos tiempos trabajaba a unos 15 kilómetros de mi casa. Lo use para ir y venir, para darme algún paseo que otro por la sierra y un viajecito de fin de semana de unos 400 km de ida y vuelta. En total unos 800 km. Lo enchufaba cada día y esa semana, todo incluido, gasté… ¡unos 20 litros de gasolina! Una media de menos de 3 litros… y es que gran parte de los recorridos los hacia sin que el motor térmico llegase a arrancar. La cuarta generación se lanza en 2015 y ofrece una gran cantidad de mejoras, pero no en su sistema de hibridación, sino en el resto del coche. Se mejora la rigidez, la aerodinámica, se baja el centro de gravedad y se modifica la suspensión sobre todo la trasera, para hacer del Prius un coche más agradable de conducir. Lo cierto es que la hibridación del Prius ya si iba extendiendo a toda la gama de Toyota hasta el punto de que muchos decían si existiendo, por ejemplo, un Corolla Híbrido, el Prius tenía sentido… Pues de eso, los españoles, no nos vamos a enterar. ¿Por qué? La Quinta generación del Prius es un salto de gigante, solo nos basta ver su estética. Es una declaración de intenciones de que el Prius quiere tener identidad propia. Pero al menos de momento, no llegará a España. ¿Cuál es el motivo? Resulta cuando menos curioso que en coche tan innovador y tan rupturista se vea perjudicado, hasta desparecer en algunos mercados, por otra nueva moda… ¡lo has adivinado! ¡Los SUV! Una pena porque el nuevo híbrido, en la línea estética marcada por el eléctrico con nombre de agente secreto bZ4X, desde luego es algo muy diferente, por fuera y por dentro. Es un modelo que pretende tener unas ciertas cualidades incluso deportivas, con una potencia total de 223 CV y que puede montar un techo con placas solares… ideal para nuestro mercado, pero insisto no vendrá a España… al menos de momento. Conclusión. Venga o no a España esta última generación, e incluso aunque desapareciese por completo de la gama Toyota en todo el Mundo, el Toyota Prius ha marcado un verdadero cambio. No solo yo, nadie lo vio venir, nadie pensó en el comienzo de los años 2000 que en 2025 uno de cada tres coches vendidos en Europa iba a ser híbrido, en España casi uno de cada dos. Nadie lo vio venir. Y tal como están las cosas, creo que ese porcentaje en vez de bajar, a favor de los eléctricos, va a subir… y todo comenzó con el primer Prius, bastante feote, que no me acabó de convencer… pero que inicio un nuevo camino. Coche del día. En un vídeo sobre futuros clásicos dije que el primer Prius se podría convertir en un clásico… tiene en contra su elevada producción, pero a su favor ser un coche que casi nadie está conservando y que, como os he dicho, cambio el Mundo.

How do you train today's technicians to work on powertrains that barely existed a decade ago—and keep evolving each year? Bosch Mobility took on that challenge with its nationwide EV technician training tour, a hands-on program designed to meet technicians on-site.Brittany Kearns, Project Manager for EV Service Concept at Bosch Mobility, joins The Amped EV Podcast to discuss this mobile training initiative. Bosch launched the tour in 2024 to address the growing demand for EV technician training across the United States.Kearns explains how the one-day, face-to-face program brings cutaway vehicles, diagnostic tools, and essential equipment directly to workshops. The tour targets technicians, students, and educators – giving them the confidence to work on EV platforms like the Toyota Prius, Nissan Leaf, Tesla models, Ford Lightning, and Chevy Blazer EV.Expanding Technical Depth and Responding to FeedbackFeedback from the field led Bosch to expand the curriculum with advanced training modules and deeper diagnostic content.  Kearns shares how Bosch is also addressing regional training needs, including diesel education and ADAS (Advanced Driver Assistance Systems).Bosch supports shops as they transition to servicing connected, software-defined vehicles.  She emphasizes that technicians must go beyond mechanical repairs and understand software updates, sensor calibration, and system diagnostics. As EVs evolve, Bosch continuously updates its tools and educational offerings to keep pace.Evolving EV Technician Training Curriculum and Public EducationKearns notes a growing number of hands-on EV training programs across the industry and sees that trend as critical. These resources help close knowledge gaps—not just for technicians, but for the public as well. www.thebuzzevnews.com

Ahora, hablemos de la fábula del patito feo que se convierte en cisne. Ya ha pasado antes, con coches como el Citroën M35, GM Impact, Oldsmobile Jetfire Rocket o el Ford Edsel, denostados en su momento y ahora escasos y muy valorados. La “gracia” de este asunto es comprarlos cuando todavía son “patitos feos” y no cuando ya se han convertido en cisnes… a lo mejor te damos alguna idea. Vamos con nuestra lista por orden cronológico. En este podcast os traigo buenas noticias. Y es que nuestros amigos de Planeta DeAgostini, con cada colección que lanzan mejoran a la anterior. Si te gustan los coches americanos, si te gustan los famosos "Muscle cars" no te la puedes perder, porque está dedicada a los Ford Mustang más legendarios. Sí, es que es habitual hablar del "Ford Mustang"... ¡cómo si solo hubiese uno! Y la selección que ha hecho Planeta DeAgostini para esta serie es muy acertada y abarca desde el Mach 1 al Boss 429 sin olvidar a modelos como el King Cobra o quizás es más mítico de todos, el Shelby GT 350. Aquí los veis, se trata de modelos de escala 1/43 en metal y plástico inyectado y decorados a mano... la calidad es impresionante. Y la colección incluye fascículos muy interesantes donde te cuentan toda la historia del Mustang... incluso que este nombre era el de los caballos de los indios del Western. Y si te suscribes hay sorpresas, la miniatura del primer Mustang, láminas, una taza, camiseta... Si eres fan de los deportivos "Made in USA"... ¡no te lo puedes perder! -En este enlace tienes toda la información: Link: https://tinyurl.com/garajehermetico -Usa el código: GARAJE para apoyar a Garaje Hermético Trabant (1960-1991). El paradigma de lo que os digo, un modelo del que encontrabas, literalmente, coches tirados en la calle que nadie quería, lo he visto con mis propios ojos, y que ahora puedes vender, si tienes uno en razonable buen estado, por 4.500 o 6.000 €. UMM “Jabato” (1986-1994). En realidad, me refiero a los UMM que viene de União Metalo-Mecanica S.A. inició la producción, bajo licencia, de unos vehículos todo terreno de origen francés. Subaru SVX (1991-1996). Un coche caro y minoritario, del que solo se fabricaron unas 25.000 unidades. El diseño de Giugiaro y el coche es excelente… pero nunca fue comprendido. Plymouth Prowler (1997-2002). Se vendió bajo la marca Plymouth mayoritariamente, pero también como Chrysler y en total solo se construyeron 11.702 que, para mí, ya se han convertidos en cisnes... pero creo que seguirán subiendo. Toyota Prius (1997-2003). Por supuesto, me refiero a la primera generación, un coche que no me atrevo a calificar de feo, pero si de un poco insulso. Fiat Multipla (1998-2004). Por supuesto, insisto, me refiero a la primera generación. A mí, un coche que me sedujo desde el principio, me parecía un coche que llegaba del futuro y con personalidad. Chrysler PT Cruiser (1999-2010). Un coche que se mantuvo en producción 11 años y que vendió 1,35 millones de unidades, pero no es un coche que despertase pasiones ni en sus USA natales ni fuera de ella. Lancia Thesis (2001-2009). Un “fijo” en listas de este tipo. Solo se fabricaron 16.000 unidades y muy pocas de ellas con motor de cinco cilindros atmosférico de 2.4 litros y 170 CV, para mí la mejor elección. Renault Vel Satis (2001-2009). Ya es un “patito feo” con todas las de la ley… ¡lo encuentras por poco más de 1.000 €! Un coche para comprar, guardarlo en condiciones en un garaje y sacarlo dentro de 10 años… te garantizo que ganas dinero. Nissan Cube (2002-2008). En este caso la generación más “polémica” no es la primera sino la segunda… reconozco que soy un friki, porque me gusta. ¿Se convertirá en cisne? Puede que sí. Citroën C3 Pluriel (2003-2012). Este coche nació siendo “patito feo” … Eso de un coche que si lo descapotas tienes que subirte algunas piezas a cada… no fue una buena idea. Nissan Leaf (2010-Presente). Una apuesta arriesgada. Aún ni se ha convertido en patito feo, de momento es el coche eléctrico probablemente más barato que puedas comprar, desde 6.000 € lo puedes encontrar en España.

Haldane student continues recovery from horrific crash Theresa Timmons celebrated a day that nearly wasn't. On Sept. 23, a procession of family and friends followed as her mother pushed the teenager's wheelchair across the lobby of Blythedale Children's Hospital in Valhalla. Just through the glassed entrance stood members of the Continental Village Fire Department and Cortlandt-Peekskill Regional Paramedics. Firefighters and paramedics rarely reunite with the people they save or closely follow their recoveries. But over the last year, the Haldane High School student has become part of the department's family, so much so that its members pray for her before meetings, said Joseph Maffettone, the department's chief. The answer to their prayers smiled as the uniformed first responders presented her with a bouquet of flowers and took photos. Inside, everyone crowded into a second-floor room to celebrate Theresa's upcoming 17th birthday on Sept. 25. "This is a great journey that we get to follow," said Maffettone. The journey began with a crash on Route 9. On Dec. 15, 2023, Vlad Saban, a 17-year-old Haldane High School senior, lost control of his Toyota Prius, which left the road and hit a tree. Vlad was killed. His passenger, Theresa, was left in critical condition with a traumatic brain injury. A year later, she has been transformed. Doctors brought her out of a medically induced coma in January, and the piece of skull they removed to relieve pressure on her brain has been replaced. In July, Theresa began speaking and is now writing, texting and laughing. On Dec. 10, using a wheelchair, Theresa returned to Haldane High School for a visit that brought the student body into the halls. The teenager, whose family owns Homestyle Desserts Bakery, and who was familiar to anyone who bought ice cream at its Nelsonville location, is undergoing an arduous regime of occupational and physical therapy designed to restore the damaged partnership between brain and body. She is also taking remote classes at Haldane, with the goal of attending graduation with her class in June. "That's what I'm hoping for," Theresa said. Saved by a 'cocoon' During a visit, hope decorated Theresa's room at Blythedale. The shelves bulged with stuffed animals. An array of photos sent by Haldane friends filled some wall space, while well-wishes written on heart-shaped pieces of paper by students from P.S. 194, a Bronx K-8 school where one of her mother's friends teaches, were hanging on the window. "You are amazing." "You can do it." A guitar Theresa's father, Jimmy, plays for her stood in a corner. Haldane faculty, staff and classmates visit regularly, as does Vlad's mother, Liliya Shylivska. Theresa's mother, Laura, sleeps overnight on a cot, as do Jimmy, Liliya and Laura's boyfriend, Mike. "I feel loved," said Theresa. First, she had to be saved. Maffettone said Continental Village firefighters responding to the accident found "complete wreckage." Attacking the doors and bottom of the wreck with cutting tools, they found Theresa in the back seat, unconscious and laying on her left side, protected in a "cocoon," according to Maffettone. "There was a complete tunnel around her," said Maffettone, whose family has been buying baked goods from Homestyle for years and knew the Timmons family. "How she was positioned, it was amazing." Jennifer Hunt, a paramedic with Cortlandt-Peekskill Regional Paramedics, described Theresa's physical condition as "multi-system" trauma. "She had anything and everything that could possibly be wrong with a patient going on," said Hunt. "We had a lot of decisions to make in a very short timeframe." Hunt said that she and a colleague sedated Theresa and inserted an endotracheal tube, which is used when patients cannot breathe unaided. With her breathing stabilized, they decided to drive her to Westchester Medical Center rather than wait for a helicopter. "Getting her definitive care was the priority at that point," said Hunt. "I didn't know...

This week's lead news story is the just-announced 2025 Ford Mustang GTD that Ford Motor Company says is the pinnacle of Mustang engineering. As we discuss in this week's episode, it's hard to argue that. The Mustang GTD delivers a mind-blowing 815 horsepower, 664 pound-feet of torque, and a riveting top speed of 202 mph. The fastest street-legal Mustang ever boasts advanced features that include active aerodynamics, carbon-ceramic brakes, and a sophisticated suspension system. One goal of the new Mustang standard-bearer is achieving a sub-seven-minute lap at Nürburgring. Powered by a supercharged 5.2-liter V8, the GTD appears to have the goods to do just that. With the dry-sump oil system, its engine offers enhanced lubrication during high-speed cornering and revs up to 7,650 rpm. If that's not enough, the Mustang GTD also incorporates a specialized drag reduction system that enables it to adjust its aerodynamics to optimize speed and grip based on driving conditions — a pretty nice trick. Co-Host Chris Teague and Host Jack Nerad will react to the newest Ford sup0ercar in this episode. In our road tests this week, Chris Teague will evaluate another vehicle from an American brand, the 2025 Dodge Hornet. The Hornet is designed to help Dodge turn the page from its musclecar — and some would say muscle-bound — past. Its goal is to maintain the brand's performance image but putting it in a new context. Chris and Jack will discuss if it lives up to that billing. The Ford Ranger Lariat 4x4 with the FX4 package is the subject of our other road test this week. The newest Ranger marks Ford's renewed interest in the midsize truck segment here in North America, and it comes amidst a flurry of new midsize pickups from both domestic and import automakers. Jack and Chris will describe how they believe it stacks up. This week, our special guest is Brad Arnold, a top-ranking Hyundai designer in North America. At a recent event in central California, he and Host Jack Nerad sat down for a lengthy discussion of the heavily revised 2025 Hyundai Tucson and 2025 Hyundai Santa Cruz. We're sure you'll enjoy our discussion. In the news this week, we'll be talking about something that seems too good to be true. Would you lease a brand-new EV if the monthly payment was $20? That's happening right now, and we'll tell you more about it coming up. In other news, Volvo is ditching its vehicle subscription plan after several years of lackluster interest from the public. We'll have more on that, and we'll talk about a Toyota Prius hypermiler who just set a Guiness World record for fuel economy in a drive from coast to coast. So we have a lot of show for you this week. Thanks for joining us. And please don't forget to look for our content on YouTube and Rumble. If you subscribe, it will help us bring you even more.

A lo mejor te crees que la preocupación por la aerodinámica es algo moderno… ¡pues te equivocas! A lo mejor piensas que los modelos más aerodinámicos son los actuales… ¡pues te vuelves a equivocar! Estoy seguro de una cosa: Esta lista te va a sorprender… Te doy una muestra: El ganador al título de coche más aerodinámico es… de 1939. Antes de comenzar por esta nutrida lista de 20 coches te voy a poner en antecedentes. La aerodinámica es clave en los coches en tres aspectos que vamos a analizar: Facilidad de penetración, estabilidad y ruido. La resistencia que presenta un cuerpo a moverse en el aire depende solo de dos cosas: El CX y su área frontal. Te lo explico. Lo más fácil es el área frontal, que es básicamente el “agujero” que tiene que hacer el coche en el aire, cuando más grande peor… ¡ay esos SUV anchos y enormes! Y necesariamente, menos económicos de consumo. El CX mide la bondad de una determinada forma para abrirse paso en el aire… y te propongo un experimento: Mejor de pasajero, abre la ventanilla a 100 km/h y pon la mano con la palma abierta hacia adelante (primer plano de mí mano) y veras que el aire te tira para “atrás” de la mano. Sin embargo, si presentas el puño, así como te indico (primer plano de mi puño) verás que la resistencia es mucho menor. El CX es el coeficiente que mide esa facilidad para penetrar en el aire. Cuanto más bajo, mejor. Siempre se dice, yo lo he dicho, que la forma con mejor CX es una gota de agua, que es la forma que toma el agua líquida al caer, y que podemos decir que está “esculpida” por el propio viento. Tiene un CX de 0,05. Buscando información para este vídeo he leído que un pingüino tiene un coeficiente de 0,03… imagino que en posición aerodinámica. Honestamente, dudo de la veracidad de esta información, que puede que quizás confunde hidrodinámica con aerodinámica… Seguro que alguno de vosotros me lo aclara… mientras tanto, seguiré investigando. Te doy un dato: Hoy día, en 2024, un coche con un CX de 0,25 o 0,26 se considera que tienen una buena aerodinámica… Tras este dato, te hago una pregunta, ¿qué CX crees que tiene un F1? … vas a alucinar: ¡1,1! ¡Peor que un ladrillo! Esto es así porque en los F1 se busca la estabilidad en curva. En los coches de calle no se usan tantos alerones, pero si interesa que el coche a alta velocidad tenga cierto aplomo y que sea poco sensible al viento lateral, cosas que a veces chocan con buscar un buen CX. Y luego está el ruido. En los coches de calle el ruido procedente del viento es muy importante y hay “trucos” para evitarlo que no siempre favorecen el CX. Os cuento una anécdota (BMW E36, espejos ruidosos y solución). Nuestro listado. Antes de comenzar con el listado te cuento los criterios. El primero, que el propio equipamiento, sobre todo las ruedas, pueden influir en el CX de un coche. Las marcas suelen dar la cifra que más les interesa. EL segundo, que en general he huido de prototipos, sobre todo prototipos recientes. Y el tercero, que en esta lista no están los mejores por su CX absoluto. En unos casos es así, pero en otros está por algún motivo relevante o por lo que significaron en su momento. Los he ordenado por orden inverso de CX, es decir, como siempre… lo mejor está al final: 1. Citroën DS (0,37). 2. Tatra 87 (0,36). 3. Bugatti Tank (0,35 estimado). 4. Citroën CX (0,35). 5. Alfa Romeo Giulia (0,34). 6. Citroën GS (0,31). 7. Alfa Romeo 40-60 HP Aerodinamica Castagna (0,30 estimado). 8. Saab 92 (0,30). 9. Audi 80 (0,29). 10. Alpine Renault GTA (0,28). 11. Renault 25 TS (0,28). 12. Rumpler Tropfenwagen (0,28). 12+1. Opel Calibra (0,26). 14. Toyota Prius (0,26) 2004. 15. Audi A2 (0,24). 16. Tesla Model S (0,24). 17. Mercedes-Benz Clase A Sedán (0,22). 18. Alfa Romeo BAT (0,19). 19. GM EV1 (0,19). 20. El Schlörwagen (0,15).

System of a Down's Serj Tankian looks ahead to the release of his next solo EP, 'Foundations,' and explains the role his Toyota Prius played in the music.

Toyota's long-running Corolla entered its 12th generation in 2018. With its 12th iteration, Toyota also rolled out a hybrid powertrain underneath the Corolla's skin, though that might have been overshadowed by the more raucous GR Corolla. Still, this '24 Corolla Hybrid packs a 1.8-liter I4 that works with a hybrid system to send 138 hp to the front wheels. This less-potent hybrid also makes its way to the bottom rung of Toyota's hybrid lineup, where it sits below a $25,000 starting price. On this episode of Quick Spin, host Wesley Wren hops behind the 2024 Toyota Corolla hybrid and puts it through its paces. Wren takes you on a guided tour of the Corolla hybrid and highlights some of his favorite features. Later, Wren takes you along for a live drive review. Adding to these segments, Wren chats with Autoweek's Patrick Carone about the '24 Toyota Corolla hybrid, the changing landscape of low-priced vehicles, and how this Corolla hybrid stacks up against the latest Toyota Prius. Closing the show, the pair break down what makes this Corolla special.

The Toyota Prius might not have been a style icon when it launched in 1997, but it did quickly become a symbol of fuel savings. The fuel-sipper entered its fifth generation with the 2023 model year and ushered in a new era for ‘Yota's hybrid. This new Prius sports a wholly redesigned shell but sticks with traditional hybrid and plug-in hybrid powertrains. This Prius Prime tester features a 2.0-liter Atkinson cycle I4 that works with an eCVT to make a combined 220 hp. This Prius PHEV also packs 13.6 kWh, which Toyota says can move the Prius Prime over 40 miles on with only its electric motors.  On this episode of Quick Spin, host Wesley Wren hops behind the wheel of the 2024 Toyota Prius and puts it through its paces. Wren takes you on a guided tour of the '24 Prius and highlights some of his favorite features. Later, Wren takes you along for a live drive review of the '24 Prius Prime.

Will Ferrell plays an accountant - but a former college pimp. Mark Walberg might be playing himself from the Departed - but as a spoof and a ballet dancer.  In the process the movie takes every stereotype of every buddy cop movie - funny or serious - and makes fun of it all, including the two most macho of detectives (Samuel L. Jackson and Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson). But of course we're all here for the cars, and in this case the hero car that is the biggest punchline of all; a 2006 Toyota Prius. It saves the day, survives a hobo attack, and drifts through NYC all set to a killer soundtrack and subtle humor that'll make you cry. 10 Cony Island Hot Dogs!

¡La imaginación al poder! Dicho de otra manera: A grandes males, originales remedios. Se dice que los ingenieros no tienen imaginación… ¡falso! Lo interesante de este vídeo no es el concepto técnico en sí mismo, sino como los ingenieros llegaron a soluciones, en su momento, innovadoras… y, además, en estos 10 casos, exitosas o MUY exitosas. ¡Nos gustan los vídeos técnicos! ¡Vamos allá! 1. Cola truncada o “fastback”. 2. Efecto suelo. 3. Motor transversal. 4. Chasis autoportante. 5. Suspensión 2CV. 6. Suspensión Mini. 7. Doble, árbol de trasmisión. 8. Cuatro válvulas por cilindro. 9. Tracción total. 10. Hibridación. Coche del día. A lo menor os decepciono a muchos. Y es que voy a elegir al Toyota Prius. Igual que el Mino hizo que todos los coches o la inmensa mayoría fuesen de tracción total, el Prius ha conseguido que muchos coches sean híbridos. No es bonito, no es apasionante, pero es eficiente y, sobre todo, influyente. Así que creo que es una elección justa.

This episode is a great discussion coming from a question submitted by our producer Jake: what is the modern equivalent of the Mercedes W201 190E? == This episode of “The Carmudgeon Show” is presented by Valentine One Radar Locator: Find radar before it finds you! https://bit.ly/Valentine1_Hagerty Click here to join the Hagerty Driver's Club: https://bit.ly/Join-HDC-Cammisa-ICONS == Jason and Derek try to come up with a list of 5 Cars That Are Significant Like the W201 was.  The first question is what made that old Mercedes so special. The criteria are: Technical Innovation. Moving Into a New Market. Meaningful Change to the Industry. Democratizing Features Previously Not Part of a Segment With bonus points for: Motorsport Heritage Design Then, it becomes so much more. And possibly includes the Hyundai/Kia triplets: Hyundai Ioniq 5, Genesis GV60, and Kia EV6. The 1992 Toyota Camry. The answer lies somewhere between Tesla's Model 3, the Porsche Cayenne, the Toyota Prius, and the Lexus LS400.  === Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Miniature sleigh and eight tiny reindeer sold separately. Check out the links over on Hackaday.
