Toyota Prius: Best and Most Important Car of 2007

2007 was a breakout year for the Prius

I just checked out CNN's Cars: Best of the Best 2007. There are 9 categories in the Best of the Best and the Toyota Prius controls 3 out of those 9 categories. Best loved, Best fuel economy and Best reliability.

Possibly even more important, the Prius has become one of the 10 best selling cars of 2007. This success has made all other automakers take hybrid cars seriously, while significantly increasing America's consciousness towards the possibility of plug-in hybrid vehicles and electric cars.

Love it or hate, the Prius has forever changed the automotive landscape.
