GT5 Transcripts/Toyota PRIUS G '09

The third-generation Prius was first announced at the January 2009 North American International Auto Show.
The improvements in the third-generation model were not just about environmental characteristics. It was also designed to be fun to drive.
In terms of mechanism, the body lines were made sharp and aerodynamic, and in addition to enlarging the engine to 1.8 liters, over 90% of the hybrid system was redesigned. As a result, it was endowed with the highest fuel economy in the world at 90MPG, and truly established that the pursuit of eco driving can be fun.
The number of new users enjoying "eco driving" has clearly increased, and though the sales target was 10,000 cars per month, it made record sales of 18,000 cars in just a month after its release. Its high fuel economy and fun driving characteristics continued to attract users, and the PRIUS was on top of the sales charts for new cars 6 months running up to November 2009. The role of the Prius in establishing hybrid cars on the market was huge, and it was selected as Japan's car of the year for 2009.
There is no major difference in mechanism between the 3 model grades of "L", "S", and "G", but of course the tires and other equipment details are slightly different among them. True PRIUS enthusiasts select their grade model by guessing the slight differences in fuel economy that could be caused by these differences. The top of the line "G" grade is fitted with leather wrapped steering and smart entry systems to raise its quality, but it is actually not the best grade to choose in terms of fuel economy.
