    I regularly get gas in New Jersey in my 2013 Prius Plug-in and since you're not allowed to pump your own gas in NJ the gas station attendants regularly tell me that I pulled up to the wrong side. If I have time I flip the car around and let them try to figure out how to put gas in the charge port.

    Hi, from Japan!! First of all, what happened to Paul’s voice?? Merged with catching a cold?? Now, even sports car enthusiasts are attracted by the new Prius in Japan. Good looking and good running capabilities. The person in charge of the new Prius said on TV “this new generation’s gas mileage is less than prior generation because this new gen is put importance on driving more than gas mileage. “Toyota is definitely changing nowadays. They make cars which can run much better than it was used to be.

    I conclude the smart move is to buy the SXE, then replace the 19" wheels with 17" wheels to get the mileage close to the SE mileage. There is an aftermarket stylish, lightweight 17" Prius wheels! This is my plan of action!

    No question it looks better, but that straight line from the nose to the top of the roof is not a good look imo unless it's a Lambo. Yeah, I understand the aero aspect, but this is a bit of a stretch - would have liked to see a bit more headroom in the front. Still, WAY better than the car it replaces.
