New York Auto Show, 2024: Toyota Prius

Who'da thunk it? A Toyota Prius that actually looks desirable!

Toyota got wise to the fact that Americans won't buy a dowdy hybrid if gasoline is cheap. They won't even buy a dowdy hybrid if gasoline isn't cheap! So Toyota jazzed up the styling - and, by providing a 196-horse hybrid system, jazzed up the performance as well.

You know, people might actually buy this Prius in big numbers!
