The Toyota Prius was the first affordable hybrid car we saw on the market, giving us a car that we could enjoy giving us the added benefit of increase fuel mileage form a hybrid powertrain. The Prius has been so popular, arriving at the right time when gas prices were on the rise, that it now has come into its fourth generation of the car. As the most popular hybrid car on the road today the Prius has given us a great deal of joy, but other companies have seen the positives of using hybrid technology with the engines of some super sports car to create higher performance.
