Remember when I wrote about someone side-swiping my Prius on I-83? (Reminder, neither Nat nor I were injured in any way)
It turns out that it was totaled, needed (at least) replacement of the front bumper, radars, wheel, tire, suspension parts, the steering rack, and the engine sub-frame.
I got a check from my insurer, plus coverage of my deductible because the other driver was uninsured, and got another car.
It was a used 2026 Corolla. (138 miles, long story from salesman)
While I liked everything everything automotive about the Prius, I was still out some bucks for depreciation, and I found the car cramped and claustrophobic. (For all the raving about the new look, it sacrificed a lot in the way of vision and space)
The Corolla is more comfortable, and while it does not get the same mileage as the current Prius, it does get about as much as my old 2004 Prius, with better back seat room, visibility, etc.
It's just more comfortable.
The decision to make the Prius look like a Tesla in 2022 was IMHO the wrong move by Toyota.
