It is considered that the Toyota Prius is the best selling hybrid that is available not on in the Unite States but also across the world. The vehicle was first introduced in the Japanese market in 1997. Since that times more than 1.8 million of cars were purchased. But half of such acquisitions ended up in the United States.
Originally, the Prius was a four-door sedan that was slow and was unable to meet up fuel economy expectations of customers. Such a situation continued until the car maker introduced a new teardop hatchback body style in 2003. Due to the appearance of the third generation model sales topped half a million by 2007. The car was available with better efficiency as well as improvised dynamic performance. This year a test fleet of plug-in Priuses wast started by Toyota. The cars are available with lithium ion batteries and they will come in 2012.
As we wait for corded Prius models, due to which we will become more eco minded, we can join the celebration of Toyota of the now-iconic green machine.
