Loved it- and the new one looks even better! I wonder what the points of difference are between Toyota's FT-EV and the Smart Car- because they are identical twins....? - Cydney Wuerffel Tue, 20 Jan 2009 12:59:01 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/automobiles/2485#comment-23247 From what I've read, the solar roof simply helps to run your AC. I believe that occurs whether the car is on or off. Can it run the A/C full blast in full sun, I'm not sure. I don't think that information has been released. You would assume this feature would give people an further MPG over the old prius when using the A/C, right? Correct me if I'm wrong on that guys. - Kyle White Sun, 18 Jan 2009 14:49:12 +0100 http://www.ecogeek.org/automobiles/2485#comment-23245 I am loving these new green cars...the Prius is looking the best it has yet. I am wondering how much the solar roof will cost as an add on. Does anyone know if it adds any value other than cooling while parked in a parking lot? - Royce Fullerton Sun, 18 Jan 2009 14:27:25 +0100
