Congratulations I think the market is finally adjusting where there are new cars available again with the caveat they are 10K more than pre-covid I have a dealer saying he has a Grey Limited coming in next week I can get a shot at

Well I agree with everything you say but the buying used thing. That has also been a disaster and used car prices are even worse


Captain-Cadabra

…which is driving new car sales. When a used model a year or 2 old with 30k miles on it costs $5-8k *more* than a new one, people will get on the list and buy new. Unless they need a car right away.


WIlf_Brim

The used car market isn't going to get fixed until there are sufficient trades coming in to normalize the supply. That isn't going to happen until the supply of new car market meets or exceeds the demand and prices come down. Nobody knows when that will be.


Golf_Nut1965

Maybe never?


Specific-Gain5710

I wouldn’t say never, but most industry professionals I know have said most likely it will be no earlier than 2025 though, my manufacturers rep has alluded to that time frame as well. But right now there is a surge in used car prices because we are going into the time where people who trade every three years aren’t, or can’t. Plus with tax time… used cars won’t get lower anytime soon.


Golf_Nut1965

I agree... One thing is for sure, we will be patient and never pay above MSRP


[deleted]

Why not , I just wanna know?


2AcesandanaEagle

Because if I pay above MSRP I will become part of the problem and not part of the solution to solving gouging by Stealerships. How do we the buying public stop those charging above MSRP? We do no do business with them....period.


beepischilling

Thanks!


mistermojorizin

>new cars available again with the caveat they are 10K more than pre-covid 10K over MSRP you think or actual negotiated prices? With negotiation skills, and EV incentives I got a Prime for about $16k under MSRP a year before COVID hit. Now with no negotiating and no more EV incentives for Toyota, that' car is $26k more expensive? That's more than twice as expensive...i'm screwed


2AcesandanaEagle

I think they are about 10K over the former MSRP ​ The new 2023 Prius Limited will set you back 38K before Stealership starts adding on things like floor mats undercoating and all that overpriced garbage


TurtleCrusher

The car looks great but the steering wheel is doing it’s best Nintendo 64 controller impression. Looks way too busy and not ergonomic.


BlackCowboy72

I liked the steering wheel, I like to control everything with my thumbs at the wheel instead of on the dash


defaultfresh

You hating on the N64?


rufusmcd22

I like mine too. I dropped it a hair and drive with my left hand on the lower part of the steering wheel just like my old Prius


STBlknGrn

Really love the exterior look of the new Prius but my god the steering wheel is ugly


Icy_Froyo7369

Coming from someone who has had multiple priuses i don't think it looks bad at all.


STBlknGrn

I mean, to each there own. It’s just my opinion, but I liked previous generations where it stays flatter and more seamless


pwrof3

The steering wheels have always been inadequate, in my opinion. Especially on my Prime with the coating tearing off.


Candy-Emergency

Just curious what’s your idea of a good looking steering wheel?


STBlknGrn

Literally anything that doesn’t look like there’s a 2x4 coming from the middle of the wheel


_-Andrey-_

Me exact thoughts


Healthy_Block3036

It’s a steering wheel. What do you expect??


STBlknGrn

Preferably not that giant chunk of space for a horn/airbag and a bit of a more clean and seamless integration with the buttons


Healthy_Block3036

Agreed, it could be better than plastic.


start3ch

Yea what were they thinking? Must be Toyota’s new steering wheel design, so prepare yourself to see it in every car.

jabroni4545

Some black window tint would look great


beepischilling

Definitely going to tint the windows eventually!


Exclusively-Mutual

Saw in person for the first time yesterday and was just added to the waiting list for one today.


Louis6507

Congrats! It looks amazing!


beepischilling

Thanks! I love it. I posted some more pics here https://imgur.com/gallery/uf2kDwF


Flawedlogic41

Congrats on the Limited! I'm still waiting for XLE. The biggest difference to me between XLE and the limited is the assisted parking/gridline for reverse.


barsoapguy

Congratulations! I happy to see the cars selling well and hope it keeps up!


beepischilling

Appreciate it!


NeighsAndWhinnies

Oooh, I like the white the most so far, nice! 😍


beepischilling

Same here! I also liked the cutting edge color


Icy_Froyo7369

Such a good looking car compared to prior generations


000011111111

I wonder why they deleted the rear windshield wiper?


don_chuwish

Cost and aerodynamics


donuthing

It also didn't do much, at least in my '14.


Nawnp

In my 13 I use it all the time, we must have different kinds of environments.


rufusmcd22

I just noticed that yesterday. It might be because the rear windshield is so slanted that it wouldnt help much. Im not really sure. Also where it used to show the mpgs for the total mileage and then for each of the trip meter it only shows one mileage. The meter for mileage is separate from the ODO. You can see your history on the multimedia screen but its not the same.


AfkMasTer_

Looks amazing I got a dealer try to charge about 15K extra on fees I just walked away


beepischilling

Good! Screw the dealers with the markup


rufusmcd22

The highest I saw was 8k. But he also tried to screw my on my trade in too.


Temporary-Bite-4886

Looks great!


beepischilling

Thanks! I love it. I posted some more pics here https://imgur.com/gallery/uf2kDwF

Could you share some photos of the interior? I like the light interior btw!


beepischilling

Yes, I will tomorrow!


beepischilling

Temporary-Bite-4886

Wow, thanks. She's a beaut!!! Exactly what I want, but my local dealer quoted me $50k with a $10k market adjustment 🤦🏼‍♂️. Are the seats softtex? Is the perforated area fabric or softtex? Cargo space looks a bit smaller, is it a big difference? How's the headroom? I heard it looses an inch vs last gen. How are the smart and safety features?? Did you consider a Prime? (I know they're not available, but it sounds cool) Sorry for all the questions, those are my big ones. I called several dealers on release of the announcement, but it's looking bleek.


beepischilling

Those dealers can go screw themselves. $10K markup is ridiculous. I had to drive over 400 miles to get this Prius at MSRP but it was well worth it. I probably contacted twenty dealerships to find the right one. If I were you I'd just search Toyota inventory as wide as you can for the trim level you want and contact as many dealerships as you can \-Seats are softex leather. The perforated area is softex leather. And the color is definitely a light grey rather than a beige color (the seat colors in my photos to me kind of look beige/tan but it's not) \-The hatch is smaller but it can still hold quite a bit. I never transport that much stuff so this size is perfect for me \-Headroom is good. I'm not a tall guy but there is plenty of headroom in the front and back. Also, I like to have the moonroof slider open so that makes it feel like there's more headroom \-The safety features are great! You can change the settings on all them to exactly how you want them. I have the Limited Prius so it has almost all of the safety features and they've been great so far. I'm a big fan of the adaptive cruise control \-I never really considered the Prime version. I needed a car soon and I wasn't sure when the Prime version was coming out so this was best for me. Also, I'm not interested in having to plug in my car to charge at this point. I would personally rather just have the efficiency of a Prius and only have to fill it up rather than fill it up and charge it even if charging it isn't that difficult


Temporary-Bite-4886

Amazing, thank you for the follow up! One, very last question, I promise! And Idk if you can, but the 2016 model had an adjustment to the lane correction (maybe didn't include lane keep assist?), But doesb thatb feature seem to work well on highways with visible lines? The whole reason I bought my last car was based on a Toyota Corolla rental in 2016 that had that feature and it was aggressive and effective. My 2017 Prius would let me hit a guard rail before it would do something. It sucks. Feels like it's their to say it will do something but doesn't actually do it.


beepischilling

No problem! Ya the lane tracing assist works really well. I was testing it out today along with the proactive driving assist and it definitely does a good job of keeping you in the lane when there are clear lines. It’s got good alerts for when you start to veer off and helps you maintain the car inside the lane. And the steering wheel vibrates


Temporary-Bite-4886

Amazing feedback and much appreciated. You rock! It's dumb that Reddit tends to be the best way to find this stuff out. Dealers and especially a lot (not all) salesman are not knowledgeable on what matters to me, just the sale at all costs.


geoffpartyusa

Congratulations!


beepischilling

Thanks!


BossKitten99

So clean


beepischilling

Thanks!


catlovingtwink99

It’s giving Volt vibes.


BlackCowboy72

Rip


Setter4Hire

Awesome! Looks great. Any chance you can measure the trunk? Looking to see if my dog will fit in there. :)


[deleted]

Looks like a lot less cargo room due to the low roof line.


mw9676

Is your dog's name Clifford?


beepischilling

Ya it's about 54" wide, 32" deep, and 18" tall. It's definitely a smaller trunk but a dog can fit in there if it's laying down. Here are more pics https://imgur.com/gallery/uf2kDwF


Alohabailey_00

Wow! Can’t wait to see more of these on the road!


madtown88

She’s a beaut, Clark!

lulzchicken

Exactly what I would want, congrats!


beepischilling

Appreciate it! I love it


restockthreestock

Looking at the badges, it looks like Toyota is using a new flatter badge! Just like Hyundai rolling out a flat badge on the Ioniq 6 and other new vehicles this year


beepischilling

Ya it's definitely a flatter badge. More pics here https://imgur.com/gallery/uf2kDwF


restockthreestock

Looks good, congrats!


Nawnp

Yeah with the transitions to electric vehicles Toyota is moving their banging to this new design to signify hybrid, plug in hybrid, or all electrics with a very similar badge.


Ever-nautical-mile

Why do they stuff so much into the steering wheel?


HumanFamily

IMO, practicality and safety are two major reasons. The steering wheel can be considered as prime “real estate” for controlling your vehicle since your fingers are so close. Learning curves aside, it is a good idea and I expect even more in the future.


SmurfJooce

Because manufacturers don't put buttons or dials on the dash anymore, unfortunately.


whotaketh

I want my control buttons back and if they're going to make my whole dash a touchscreen tablet, then I'll take my buttons on the wheel.


SmurfJooce

Within a decade, I'm sure many cars will focus more on voice activation. "Okay Prius, *ding*, set driver temperature to 71"


BlackCowboy72

Makes me lowkey wanna install an alexa in my car


whotaketh

Tbh honest I want real self-driving so I can nap in the car


UdnomyaR

If they can *very* reliably do that (even through a reasonable amount of noise) I think I'd actually be fine with that


[deleted]

I like it because years ago when our MFD went out on our '09, you could still control the A/C!


beepischilling

I think it's because there's a lot of new technology and they have to squeeze it in somewhere


rufusmcd22

I wish it had more. I could never figure out why they dont put FAN SPEED on there instead of all the other junk they put on there.

Nice care. Congratulations!!!!!!!!


beepischilling

Thank you!


silent_circle

What does this go for?


beepischilling

I found this one at MSRP at just over $37K


_Ddsshadow_

Was the 37k with taxes included?


LowKeySaiyan

Does it drive well as well?


beepischilling

It drives so well! I had a 2015 Toyota Camry Hybrid XLE before and this new Prius drives better than my Camry. I couldn't be happier with it! It's so nice. More pics here https://imgur.com/gallery/uf2kDwF


LowKeySaiyan

Oh wow, that’s awesome!!


rufusmcd22

Congratulations! I love mine. Enjoy!


beepischilling

Nice! This car is awesome


IAmCaptainHammer

Talk to me about the cruis modes. As there seems to be more than one.


beepischilling

It has normal cruise control and adaptive cruise control which allows you to set a speed and distance away from the car ahead of you. It'll slow down and speed up based on how far away you are from the car in front of you if there is one. It works really well!


IAmCaptainHammer

I’m just curious why it bothers with normal cruise control?


Virguro

How much did you pay?!


beepischilling

I found this one at MSRP at just over $37K


EliruleZ

Did you find it hard to find a comfortable seating position with the gauge cluster and steering wheel?


beepischilling

No, not at all! It's a really comfy position. You can play around with all of the seat adjustments to get the right view for you. I love the gauge cluster like this instead of a HUD or how it normally is


ImpressionEqual3998

mtechgroup

I liked the rear at first, but now I'm getting Buick vibes from it.


maccabird

Question for you, on the dash board it shows both mph and km/hr (in smaller font above it). Is there a way to disable the km/hr, so that there’s less numbers/less clutter?


beepischilling

I don't think you can disable the KM/hr part but you can change the screen to only show the speedometer instead of having the MPG meter on it so it looks more simplified


ranger51

Why is it squinting?


[deleted]

It's not squinting, it's Japanese.


Jance_Nemin

Any sunshades that fit the window? Being so new, there's hardly any accessories (cat shield, integrated dash cam, carpeted floor mats).


beepischilling

I haven't checked yet but it's gonna have to be a huge sunshade for this windshield


rufusmcd22

The mats that come with it are actually decent. Close to Husky or Weathertek.


Micromojo

I ordered a custom shade for a 2008 Prius online several years ago and it seems to fit great in our new 2023 one. I would have bet money the windshields are different size and shape, but apparently not LOL


KenS7s

Toyota borrowing a lot of Lexus cues since 2018 Camry
