The new Prius is not down on power, the measure it differently. Before they tok the HP of the gasoline engine and added the HP og the electrical motor. Now they measure them together, as a new Japanese standard. This is not unlike how Tesla "lied" about the power in their P85D, you can not just add together the HP of each engine. The new CVT in this prius also has less powerloss. Overall it should feel a tad quicker.

+Bryce I also have had both Prius and Volt. One thing that bugs me is when someone says Volt is superior to Prius or vise versa. Everyone has a car that suits them. In cases of people who drive longer distances and cannot plug-in often, Prius would be a better suit for them. However, if you can charge regularly and don't need much space, Volt is better. No car is perfect, no car is superior to another. Remember, the only difference between Volt and Prius is the software management and battery size/power. Volt doesn't really have anything different that's truly "innovative". It uses the same trick PSD the Prius has been using since 1997.
@242HP

+Bryce Perhaps, but the difference is that Prius owners only have to pay for the cost of gasoline to run their cars, while Volt owners have to pay for gasoline plus the cost of the electricity used when they plug their cars in overnight to recharge. Plus, as someone who has owned 2 Toyotas and 1 Chevy, I have much more faith in the reliability of a Toyota product than anything produced by Chevrolet.

+Shaun Elemens I don't know where you live, but where I've lived, electricity is a significant cost to homeowners, even when it's being partially supplied by a nuclear power plant! More people tapping into the electric grid by plugging in their cars is going to create more demand for electricity, which is going to drive up the cost of electricity even more. I agree that the new Prius is pretty ugly (not sure why you're comparing it to a funeral hearse, though), but I'd still rather drive something that only needs one source of fuel rather than the Volt which needs gas + outside electricity in order to run. As a former Chevy owner, I have zero faith in their products. We'll see how long your Volt holds up before needing major repairs for something.

The Prius doesn't compare to the Chevy Volt. My Volt got 231 mpg last month after driving 1,913 miles. Can a Prius do that? I have a lifetime gas mileage of 105 mpg after driving 49,000 miles in a little over 2 years. Can a Prius get 105 mpg? The Volt can go 53 miles + on a single charge. The driver can choose to drive on battery only, both gas and battery, charge the battery while driving, or gas only. Prius is OLD TECH! My Volt dominates off the line and few cars get out in front. 279 lbs of torque at zero rpm gets the Volt flying like a ride at Disneyland. I paid $22,195 after rebates. The 2016 Volt is even less expensive, faster, and seats 5.

I don't know how you can say Prius is old tech; you are not comparing like with like. Of course if you fuel your car from mains electricity you are going to get better gas consumption! The Prius is outstanding for it's fuel efficiency for a non electric car. A fairer comparison would be to compare the gas mileage of a Volt runing on the gas engine only (low battery) with a Prius. Then you''d see the superiority of the Prius with its Atkinson Cycle gas engine. I believe the Volt's standby gas engine is nothing special in terms of effciency, i.e. non Atkinson Cycle. Don't get me wrong, I like the Volt (Vauxhall Ampera in the U.K.) and I've noticed that they are very popular in the Netherlands (Opel Ampera?) but we don't all have charging facilities (I have to park my car on the public road). As to the overall efficiency / lack of pollution of electric cars of course that depends on how the electricity was produced.

+Martindyna The Prius uses a gas motor and a battery, and so does the Volt. Last month Onstar sent me a monthly report on my car: I drove 1,600 miles and used 2.5 gallons of gas. You do the math for my mpg, but it's more than 600 mpg in a Volt. Sorry that's real driving and the Volt just got 10 times the mileage of a Prius. Last weekend I drove 200 miles round trip to camp in the mountains. I charged one time and got 47.4 mpg. We camped at 4,000 feet. Could the Prius have done better even after 200 miles, maybe? It's sad Prius owners have to point to the one trip most of us will make in a year and say, look if you drive 500 miles the Prius will get 3 more mpg than a Volt. Sad. Meanwhile every week I'm getting 600 mpg driving to work. All Volts can charge on a regular house plug. I'm sure you can find a plug that would work, if not the Volt can even charge itself if you want. Prius is OLD TECH.

+HappyListener50 Attack the messenger, when you don't have the acceleration, handling, or mpg facts on your side. Then to brag about your financial situation really is a little strange. Think of how rich you would be if your car could get 600+ mpg like a Chevy Volt. I too have had zero problems with my Volt after 56,000 miles, but I have only changed my oil two times. A his and her set of Pri would require oil changes every 3,000 miles....which would cost $560 each Prius. Again, you could be so rich if you drove a Volt. My Volt only cost $22,195 after rebates and I literally charge it for free. Face it, you bought the wrong car because you didn't know the Volt was this good. Next time you should test drive a Volt. Enjoy your wealth.

People who label others on such a generic and baseless basis should really take a step back and look around. I don’t assume every Corvette owner has a mid life crisis. Not every lifted truck driver has a Napoleon complex. I don’t think either are compensating for small dicks automatically. Then again I’m ex military, law enforcement, and nothing like the crowd you describe.. and I own a Prius. And it’s a great car for its purpose.
