  Stop pretending.

   

  You know that most of us here will be willing to go down and help you 'throw' your stuffs.

   

  I on the other hand, with that right hand incapacitated, cant even lift a mattress to change my bedsheet for 2 months already.

  Dunno if you can just walk into a Toyota showroom in Singapore and buy one immediately.

  Over here, because of the current gas prices, the Prius is selling like hotcakes--if you want one, you go to the showroom, put your name down on the waiting list and pay a non-refundable deposit, then you wait up to six months for one to be assigned to you. Oh, and you do NOT get a choice of options or colours--you have to take whatever they give you.

   But I dun think it's tat popular in S'pore

  CNG seems to be e trend, but to me I dun like it cos you need additional space for e tank - I've knew it when SBS rolled out 12 CNG single deckers 5 years back. The bus CNG tank is on top

  i still like the way Top Gear showed out the Prius...

  they drove a BMW M3 with a V8 414HP engine behind the Prius.. and.. it burned less petrol than the Prius!

  it's how you drive the car, not what type of car..

  Even if the spouse is not Singaporean, they can buy a HDB flat from the open market.

  I know, so what the PR is asking about is probably to buy new HDB flats or to have access to the grants.

  We used the grant lol

  We figured a discount is better than nothing

  it's how you drive the car, not what type of car..

  I've always been of the firm belief that the Prius makes absolutely NO economic sense.

  - You pay a premium for the automobile, but you don't get a choice of colours or options.

  - You get an automobile with relatively anemic performance (110 HP when both the gas engine and electric motor are operating).

  - You have to shell out several thousand dollars to replace all the rechargeable batteries after several years, if you decide to keep the vehicle that long. If you decide to sell the vehicle before replacing the batteries, the resale value takes a huge hit as the potential buyer has to factor in the cost of replacing the batteries.

  - The gas mileage isn't all that much better than other economy vehicles which cost less that the Prius and don't have expensive batteries that need replacing every few years.
