Toyota Builds Prettiest Prius of All

And it’s a plug-in. The company plans to unleash 500 of these dove and daisy-slathered cars on the world for global testing. Around 200 are staying home for the trials, with the rest split equally between the U.S. and European market. So what does that fancy pink and purple paint scheme win you? Aside from a beating at your local bar, not much. The plug-in battery pack will net you close to 65 mpg combined, though. Still, there’s the hassle of parking this thing next to an outlet and not getting your extension cord nabbed by sticky-fingers in your neighborhood. We don’t have to tell you how much we prefer Audi’s 1.6 TDi A3 to this thing. [Source: Toyota]
