	usnews.com: Auto reviews: Toyota Prius (1/20/04)
		Toyota’s maternal efforts to guide you through the Prius’s technology go a little bit overboard; the alarm that beeps continually every time you put the car in reverse, for example, is annoying and unnecessary.
		Better fuel economy, of course, is the prime mover behind the Prius, which is powered by a "hybrid electric" system that’s a combination of gasoline engine and battery-powered electric motor.
		There’s some wind noise, and the highway ride is not quite as smooth as in Toyota’s Camry, for example.

		Toyota has already made announcements about the use of better battery technology and hinted at a plug-in option.

	CanadianDriver: First Drive - 2004 Toyota Prius

		These people are unlikely to warm up to the new Prius styling either, described as a "triangular monoform." But it is a car that reaches into the future in more ways than one and its styling, depending on consumer taste, may well be as advanced as its technology.

	Toyota Prius Review TechnoRide - Find Articles (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Hop into the Prius, and you'll notice almost simultaneously the spacious back seat, the contemporary cockpit with no apparent gauge panel, the unusual gearshift and ignition switch, and a bunch of hanging tags and how-to guides dangling from the wiper stalk and shifter and stuck in the cupholder.
		Since the Prius is a hybrid, it makes the same sound when it's ready to roll as when it's turned off: usually, none.
		Toyota says it's an alert for the driver, because the shifter is unusual: When you come to a stop and want to get out, you don't slide the gearshift into neutral.

	The Morning News - Frequently Asked Questions About the Toyota Prius by John Warner
		It runs on Toyota’s patented “Smug Superiority Aura Drive,” which gathers energy from the Prius driver himself as he silently pities the other drivers on the road for piloting vehicles that get less than 50 miles to the gallon.
		A: While it is true that buying a Prius is a supreme act of selflessness that God (regardless of your religious beliefs) looks kindly on, if you use your Prius to, say, plow through the window of a preschool or daycare center, your ascent into heaven may not be certain.
		A: No. People who walk and use public transportation are missing out on demonstrating the fuel-saving, environment-sparing Prius to the unenlightened non-hybrid owners and are thus actively hindering the hybrid revolution.
