    Prius Winning This World Car Of The Year Award Would've Been Unthinkable 18 Months Ago

    Automotive Industry Surprises From The 2024 World Car Awards

    "For a car that has long been termed the ugly duckling among automobiles and has been the butt of jokes for its ungainly design, this development is a remarkable turnaround. In fact, such a development was unthinkable as recently as just 18 months ago, until the day Toyota officially took the covers off the fifth-gen Prius."

    "Chad Deutsch, in accepting for Toyota, joked that this may be the only time that Prius would compete against Ferrari and win."

    The Baby Lambo still turning heads in my neighborhood. Just washed and waxed her last night. Such a satisfying experience! So much fun to drive in the twisties! Then I can go out and run 700 miles on 10 gallons of fuel in city driving. :love:

    from the “slash gear” article:

    Despite the arrival of newer Hybrid cars, the Toyota Prius still sells in large numbers in the U.S. and Japan.

    That’s an optimistic spin, to put it politely.
