Have you ever driven a hybrid vehicle before? Those electric motors are so quiet!
I actually had one before, it was a Toyota Auris. It was really nice for driving in-town.
Was it a first generation? I know they were introduced in 2006 and shared the E150 platform with the Corolla.
I'm actually not sure which generation it was. I don't know much about their history.
For the first generation only, they had a more luxurious Auris named Toyota Blade, but it was in Japan.
Oh, so it was exclusive in Japan? That's really interesting. What else do you know about it?
Well, speaking of the Auris itself, the name "Auris" is based on the Latin word for "Gold", which is "aurum".
