When at the Toyota Prius booth at the Geneva Auto Show 2009, I noticed 3 white Toyota Prius which were pearl white in color. They looked really nice. We were able to throughly inspect the car and I definitely approve. :-) It is much nicer than the older model. Only thing missing was a plug... We did see a Plug in Hybrid Prius but it was only a concept vehicle.

The New toyota Prius 2010 is definitely more green than its previous model with the next generation Hybrid Synergy Drive which is 90% redesigned to optimize the efficiency and help further reduce the CO2 emissions. It reduced its CO2 emissions to just 89g/km and increased its fuel economy by 14%.
The exterior design is more sporty and aerodynamic. The redesign works well and should attract more buyers who were scared away by its less than sexy exterior. I also noticed the Solar panel on the roof which should help in providing the battery a little more juice on its drives. Nice touch for those who live in the sunshine.

The interior felt a little more spacious than the prevous generation of Prius not to mention the back seat. I had enough space and my head did not touch the ceiling and the seats were more comfortable. I also noticed the little EV mode button which allows you to do little neighborhood drives on electricity only. Pretty nice if you live less than 5 km from work.
