There are a billion of those around. It\u2019s super comfortable, useable, affordable. It looks great, to this day better than the next generations which try to do too much. The Prius is probably the car representing the hybrid transformation the most but this one is really anchored as the Uber\/taxi car, the delivery guy car, the friend\u2019s car, the rental car, the dad\u2019s car etc. of the 2010s.
