    BBC-TopGear, which has not been so kind to the Prius in the past, just announced . . .

    "Top Gear has chosen Toyota hybrid star Prius as its City Car of the Year.
    The award is seen as another sign of the broadening appeal of the latest generation of Toyota’s world-conquering hybrid.
    Announced in the special awards issue magazine on now sale, Top Gear praised the technology of the new Prius and the “awesome numbers†of 72.4mpg and 89g/km for “a proper family five-door hatchâ€.
    “You have to admire the Prius. It’s a testament to Toyota that it has refined this car over three generations to arrive at something quite ground-breaking,†said Conor McNicholas, BBC Top Gear editor.
    The Top Gear awards are selected by the TV, magazine and online teams, reflecting the most exciting and innovative cars to be launched in the last year."
