The New Toyota PIOUS

Posted by: DAVOhorn on 12 July 2009

Well the new Pious has been launched in Aus.

It has a larger engine 1800cc and not 1500cc as before. It is therefore heavier and has a greater performance (apparently PIOUS owners wanted this) compared to the previous models.

What a lunatic car and what weird owners as they want more performance.

If you want performance from an electric car get a real one.

THE TESLA

God i hate the PIOUS.

You have to burn petrol to charge the batteries what LUNACY.

Ditch the batteries and electric motor and save over 200kg in dead weight. Power to weight ratio will improve thereby reducing the fuel consumption and improving the performance of the PIOUS.

There are now many normal cars that have better fuel consumption using modern petrol and diesel engines.

GGGGGRRRRRRR

Great nobody has looked up the pneumatic car.

less than $5.00 US electricity to fill the tanks with enough compressed air to transport 6 people 200km at 100kmh.

Air in tanks, exhausts air to atmosphere.

PURE GENIUS.

I did, but had not got back.

I was going to make a post about it this evening, but I will leave it with the observation that it looks interesting. I doubt if it is greener than using the bike for most of my journeys.
