The Best Prius
The seemingly endless debate as to which Prius generation/package is the best resurrects as devout fans anxiously wait for their new and shiny 2010 models.
Upon the arrival of the base model Prius, celebrities and enthusiasts piled up on waiting lists, hoping that their new hybrid would arrive as soon as possible. The Toyota Prius flaunted a 48mpg record on city streets, and luxury add-ons such as leather trim seats, a navigation system, and Bluetooth access.
There was also a craze for the Prius Touring Edition, which features a sport suspension upgrade, 16” wheels, a larger spoiler, and HID headlights and fog lights. Sales for each model (as well as for their parts and accessories) continue to grow as more and more time elapses. Some green drivers prefer the base model, keeping things clean and simple, while some dare to drive green and sporty with the touring upgrade.
Now, however, Toyota brings yet another option to the table: the 2010 Toyota Prius, also known as the Third Generation Prius. Although the third generation looks extremely similar to the previous models, the internal changes are major. Boasting an improved 134 horsepower, 51mpg on city streets, a voice-activated navigation system, and a solar roof panel that powers interior fans, the 2010 model has hybrid enthusiasts aching with anxiousness. Searches for 2010 hybrid parts and accessories prove to be prominent during this stretch of time in the online market.
So, which of these models is best? While much debate on this matter continues to create disagreement among the Prius community, the base model proves to have had a lasting impact on green drivers. However, sales for the touring edition, as well as the 2010 model, are in a state of constant growth and demand amongst consumers.
