Oh, the Prius, the shining beacon of efficiency in a sea of mediocrity. It’s not just a car; it’s a statement – ‘I’m environmentally conscious but still want a vehicle that looks like it’s been in a perpetual crash test.’ Toyota, you’ve managed to keep the hybrid flame burning, even if it’s been smothered in a thick layer of ‘unique’ design. And kudos for topping the MPG charts, but I can’t help but wonder how many trees had to be sacrificed for that 57 MPG. As for the competition, it’s like watching a pack of also-rans trying to keep up with the Prius, a silent, smoggy tribute to a time when ‘hybrid’ meant ‘slightly less gas-guzzling than before.’
