Prius review

We’ve had our Toyota Prius for nearly three weeks now, and I’m working spasmodically on a review — but it has to wait until I’ve finished all the more urgent things I’m doing at the moment. In the meantime, occasional reviews are showing up on the Web — like this one by Matt McGlynn. There was also a nice review by Michael Booth in the Independent. Apropos its appearance, he says: “Pondering its ungainly profile, I was reminded of the comment by one of Ferrari’s chief designers upon first seeing the original Mini: ‘If it wasn’t so ugly, I’d shoot myself,’ he said. How many other manufacturers, I wonder, have thought the same about the Prius?”
