Why I Hate the Prius

The Prius sucks. The technology is old. It is ugly, and it is slow. For this article, I will go in depth of why I hate the Toyota Prius.

The first part is obvious. It is slow, very slow. Now I know that people will say that it's not supposed to be a speed machine, and I agree. However, it is so slow that it is scary to accelerate on the highway. It takes almost 10 seconds in order to get to 60. That sucks, even for such a weak hybrid. What could Toyota do to fix this issue? They could make a plug in hybrid that has both a powerful engine and a powerful electric motor. The powerful electric motor with provide torque for acceleration and the powerful motor (should be about 200 horsepower) will provide speed. The other thing that Toyota could do is make the Prius lighter. The weight reduction will help acceleration, speed, and fuel efficiency.

The second part of why I hate the Prius is that it is ugly. It really is. The Prius doesn't look like a car. It looks like a mutated lizard. Just look at it! The head lights are all messed up. They have like 2 triangles connected together. The tail lights are literally 2 triangle connected together again. The shape of this car is in between a hatchback and a sedan. Honestly, that just looks weird. It's indescribable.

The third part of why I hate the Prius is that it uses old technology. It is a hybrid. Not a plug in hybrid, a regular old hybrid with technology that has been around for 17 years. Of coarse, there is the Prius Prime. However, that is more expensive than the regular Prius. It is also very slow and still scary to drive when getting on the highway. The solution to this problem is to ditch the hybrid system and go with a standard plug in. The plug in could have a bigger electric motor and a bigger battery. This allows the car to be more efficient. It could also mean that the Prius could have a bigger engine so it means it could be faster.

Top 10 Luxury SUV's

Luxury SUV's are everywhere. There a lot of them. However, not all of them are great. Here are the top 10 luxury SUV's.

1. Mercedes Benz G Class

Mercedes G Class

The Mercedes Benz G Class is a softened up version of the military G Class.  The reason I say that is because it looks all military on the outside, but it is luxurious on the inside. What's so great about the G Class is that it could actually offroad. The G Class is very flexible too, which means no fancy tech is needed. There are also 3 different locking differentials, so you could maximize your offroad abilities.

2. Land Rover Range Rover

Land Rover Range Rover

The Land Rover Range Rover is pretty much the opposite of the G Class. There is a bunch of fancy tech such as air suspension and automatic adjustment for the offroading modes that automatically adjusts what offroad you are in depending on the terrain and conditions. The exterior doesn't look like a tough military Land Rover anymore. It looks softened up. Land Rover even abandoned the body on frame design and went for the Uni-body design. The interior is also very nice apart from the awful navigation system that doesn't work.

3. Porsche Cayenne

Porsche Cayenne

The Porsche Cayenne is an SUV designed with mothers, performance, and utility in mind. It doesn't do a bad job of bundling all those things together. There are different offroad modes. Though you may never use them, it is still nice to have them there. The power of this car is great as all engine options have decent power. Cornering isn't bad, especially for an SUV.

4. Porsche Macan

The Porsche Macan is Porsche's compact SUV. It is quite good apart from the fact that it looks nothing like a Porsche. Everything else is Porsche. Though cornering may not be as good as the 911, it is still best in class. Not only that, seating position is pretty good. It is higher up so you could see, but not so high that it tips when it corners. 

5. Bentley Bentayga

The Bentayga isn't a luxury SUV. It is one of the most luxurious SUV's ever.  The options are insane. There is an optional Bertling Clock that is made of diamonds and gold. The Bentley Bentayga  coaxes you in full luxury. All the dials and switches are beautiful. The seats and other components of the interior are made of leather. The wood trim is in huge slabs. It is found all around the interior. The Bentayga is one of the most powerful SUV's. It has 600 horsepower.

6. Lexus LX570

The Lexus LX570 is Lexus's full size SUV. It is based off the  mighty Toyota Land Cruiser. However, the price is only 5 grand above the Land Cruiser, and it is a Lexus. The Lexus LX570 has all the same offroad equipment as the mighty Toyota Land Cruiser, so it is as great offroading abilities as the Land Cruiser. Not only that, you get the reliability and luxury of a Lexus. The LX570 is a great overall package.

7. Jaguar F-Pace

Though the Jaguar F-Pace doesn't seem necessary, it is still the first Jaguar to think about mothers that are rich. You may be thinking, this is the same thing as a Land Rover. However, you are quite wrong. Though Jaguar and Land Rover may be owned by the same brand, it doesn't mean that they build the same SUV's. The styling of the F-Pace is different. It looks aggressive like a Jaguar. Not only that, the driving experience is different. It is much more fun than you average Land Rover Range Rover Sport.

8. Audi Q7

The Audi Q7 is the coolest SUV ever. The Audi Q7 is equipped with cool technology that isn't  available on the competitors. For example, it has Audi's Virtual Cockpit. You won't find it on you average BMW X5. What Virtual Cockpit is where the place that you speedometer would normally be is a configurable screen that displays things such as navigation, speedometer, and etc. The Audi Q7 also available with air suspension that changes the height a little bit. However, it is only raised by half an inch so offroading still isn't really possible. The Q7 is more of a mom wagon.

9. Tesla Model X

The Tesla Model X is the most advanced SUV. There are so many unique features, not just for SUV's but for all automobiles. The Model X is equipped with the closest features to auto pilot including automatic steering and autonomous parking. It is also equipped with a panorama wind screen that allows you to see a lot more outside. The best part is the air filter. The air filter can filter out most allergens and even has a bio defense mode. The air filter is controlled by the 17 inch touchscreen inside.

10. Cadillac Escalade

Cadillac Escalade

The Cadillac Escalade is the best American Luxury SUV. It is based off the Chevy Tahoe, so it is very truck like. However, it is much more luxurious than your average Tahoe. For example, there are available massaging seats. It also has Cadillac Cue. Though Cue may suck,the display makes the interior look very classy. Speaking of which, the Cadillac Escalade has a very nice interior. There shiny surfaces everywhere that not only look great but feel great.
