The Prius is an amazing piece of engineering, but from everything I've read, it's not at all a driver's car. It gets phenomenal fuel economy, of course, but cornering is something you watch other people do.
I miss the MR2 ("Mister Two"…always loved that moniker). What a pure expression of driving that car was. I wish Toyota would bring it back. Perhaps now that Honda's moving ahead with its CR-Z, Toyota will get with the program, too.
