    It appears to be written in or for the UK, but the domain name ends in .za - New Zealand? Has a little timeline of important events, says about 900,000 Prii have been sold in that time - is that right? Wasn't it earlier this year that Toyota passed 1 million sales of all of its hybrids, of which the Prius is something like 60%?

    "Toyota's Prius petrol/battery hybrid is celebrating its 10th anniversary this month and a decade during which it has pushed the boundaries of automotive innovation and set still-unmatched benchmarks in low emissions and fuel economy."​
