Default (North Shore Outlook) Test Drive: 2010 Toyota Prius

NAPA VALLEY, CA. - I'm standing on the gas, the pedal flat to the floor and that's where it's gonna stay, fuel economy be damned.

We're leaving the flats of the Napa Valley, spiraling up into the Mayacamas, trees and rock face blurring past, engine moaning, tires gripping nicely, only the occasional peep-peep-peep of traction and stability control warnings as I go into a hairpin corner too hot, you know, one of those corners where you almost have to look behind yourself to see where you're going. Then, back on the gas and we are clawing towards yet another curve on the mountain road.

And, no, you're not reading the wrong story.

This is the 2010 Toyota Prius, the third and latest generation of the fuel-efficient, low-emissions hybrid dear to the hearts of the 14,000 or so environmentally-sensitive Canadians who have bought one since its introduction a decade ago.
