Hybrid vehicles are the future. Have you driven one?
I have not, although I have several friends that have a Prius - there are actually hybrid electric trucks and buses that also exist.
I did not know that. 
Toyota is actually the world's market leader in sales of hybrid electric vehicles, so I guess the Prius was a good idea!
That's probably true. Prius is a great automobile with a hold on the hybrid market.
The EPA rates it as the cleanest vehicle sold in the US based on smog-forming emissions.
