Maybe I was too quick to condemn the Prius. Some good points raised by others here. I never liked it as the battery seems too small to be meaningful and the petrol engine was just weak. And the generation it inspired was a bunch of weak cars with undersized electric motors, weak petrol engines all in the pursuit of fuel economy. The GM EV1 was a better first step but GM sold their soul and that car could've actually been part of something really amazing around the same time the Prius came to market.
But, outside of the enthusiast, I accept what some have said in that it did start the conversation so has a place in automotive history.
