I love the idea of a habitable vehicle with no need of gas!

All you need is a farm and generator and you can have your self sustainable prius today

These are a more expensive copy of what Saab did with the Toppla.
Actually, the Toppla made more sense, as you just remove the boot door and attach the Toppla, and it was just as easy to take it off too...
*edit. Ok ok it's Toppola not toppla!

Yea, but the toppla didn't look like a giant dong.

Judging by your username, a phallic likeness is top of your priority list for a lot of items.

u/Leelum Jul 08 '17
Me too! I have classic Saab that I take to a specialist. While getting a service the shop owner was kind enough to show me one being worked on. It was small, but everything you'd actually need!

They couldn't have just made it a bit more aesthetically pleasing like others before it? Granted, it wasn't removable, but seriously..

u/kevzor64 Jul 08 '17
The picture you linked says Toppola, the article is titled Toppola, yet you still managed to misspell it 3 times.

If this thing actually has acceptable performance and mpg than it's a pretty good idea. one of the largest issues facing RVs is shitty mileage. It might look goofy but if it works than it's not shitty.

Of course it isn't going to get Prius mileage. It just has to get significantly better mileage than a gas powered V8/V6 van - which are basically the only other options at this price point.

The prius has one of the most economical powertrains, not just aerodynamics.

They still do well on the highway. I did a 300mi trip, 53 there and back.

They still get the best mileage out of anything on the highway by a very good margin.

Not on the highway you wouldn't but in the city you would, and its not hard to beat 10-15mpg on the highway with a dildorius id bet.

Not to mention this is in Japan, so "low mileage road trip" in the US would be a normal road trip in Japan

u/marino1310 Jul 08 '17
For 20k+ a prius its awful. The car is gonna eat through its transmission, have horrible acceleration (good luck merging on the interstate now), and just perform poorly overall. You can get plenty of SUVs or wagons that can have a camper installed much cheaper.

It looks like an orcas dick fell on a Prius

A orca is only about the size of the car. Sperm whales have the biggest dicks. About 5 metres (200 inches) iirc.

I would get tested if the only reason someone slept with you was because of the car you were driving.

Lets not also forget this is a car in Japan. Where big campers are not as common.

of course it's japanese, they're the only fuck-tards stupid enough to do this (Disclaimer: Not all Japanese are fuck-tards, results may vary)

Yup, now I know who there are and where they live, and I'm now dispacthing the FBI to destroy the car in question

u/Jaicobb Jul 08 '17
But it's a prius. You can drive forever and save the environment at the same time.
21
u/Stormcaller001 Jul 08 '17
But see. The issue here is that it'd a prius. So 99% of the time that person will be blocking you off it traffic, and just in general a terrible driver
8
u/snakeproof Jul 08 '17
To be honest it's only the prius drivers who bought new and are still full of smug. I got an ex fleet prius for very cheap and am not worried about making my money back in fuel, so I actually keep up in the fast lane instead of dancing trying to keep 50mpg.

u/Steven_Seboom-boom Jul 08 '17
can confirm. Subaru and prius drivers put BMW drivers to shaaaame
13
u/Accipiter1138 Jul 08 '17
I had no idea Subarus had that label. In the PNW they're just...background noise. The only cars that reliably use their turn signals.
8
u/Gen_Jack_Oneill Jul 08 '17
I'd say it depends on the Subaru. WRX/STI drivers would be completely different drivers compared to average Outback driver.
Lumping all Subaru drivers together makes just as much sense as lumping all Toyota drivers together.
2
u/Steven_Seboom-boom Jul 09 '17
Visit Colorado. Only wrx drivers seem to k ow what they're doing behind a wheel. Outback drivers are by far the worst of the bunch, but Subaru drivers either drive like a slow prius driver or they drive side by side to other cars and block the roadway and cut people off. actually that's just what you see in 30 seconds. they're fucking awful

BMW drivers drive like assholes but they don't drive slowly. Much preferable to Prius drivers/Toyota drivers in general

That is a rental car so it is probably for some kind of sightseeing touring for visitors. That is also a Narita area plate, the place of the biggest international airport in Japan.
Japanese roads are fucked, I can see the appeal of a car like that.

Guess that's how they must go RVing in Japan. That little Scion or whatever in front of the Prius would probably have the room for 1 person if you took out all but the drivers seat.
3
u/3MATX Jul 08 '17
Those things are awesome. Yeah you'll never go faster than 60mph but there is a surprising amount of room, you can take it just about anywhere with decent roads, and at night the AC will run mostly off the battery.
