2007 Toyota Prius with available Package #6
Out of the gate there were waiting lists and positive raves for the latest generation of Prius, and not a lot has changed since it first went on sale in late 2003: it's still in high demand and commands a premium even though Toyota has doubled production capacity since the launch. Especially with oil shortages and high gas prices, consumers are eyeing alternatives like hybrids more than ever, and the Prius is the clear king of the hybrid class.
Since the outset, many reviewers have favored the Prius's hybrid technology over that of Honda's, since the two motors can work independently or together in the Toyota (due to the advanced technology of the Hybrid Synergy Drive), as opposed to in the Honda technology wherein both motors always run in parallel. Moreover, the Prius's sleek, aerodynamic form, while offputting to some, has a certain aesthetic appeal that has drawn in enthusiasts from across the spectrum.
