It's Beautiful When You Get to Know It
 Maybe the big draw is the gas mileage, but once you get to know this car, it becomes a thing of beauty.  Once you begin to understand that the lines were developed for efficiency, rather than trend, the smoothness of the hybrid drivetrain, the excellent handling (mine is the touring model) and the good feeling that you are making each drop of gas go as far as it can, you grow to see the beauty come through.  Now, when I look at it, I see an utterly gorgeous machine.  One that is more advanced than any BMW, Porsche or Mercedes.  It's also very very useful.  It can carry four passengers in comfort, carry 10 bags of cement without a problem and fit in 8' lumber.
