Hybrid History in the Makin'

The Toyota Prius has another debut to its name--and to fame. Not only is it the world's most popular hybrid, it's now one of the most-researched new vehicles on Kelley Blue Book's most-researched new vehicles list. And it's the first hybrid to claim such an honor. Coming in 11th, the Prius joins a slew of other Toyotas and Hondas--and one Nissan--to complete the top 12 spots. We recently reviewed the Toyota Prius, along with several of the top contenders' hybrid and alt fuel versions too: the Toyota Camry Hybrid, Honda Civic GX, Nissan Altima Hybrid.
