The Season of the Prada Flower

Blue is the new green! Toyota Yaris Hybrid XS

Toyota Yaris Hybrid XS

I have wanted to review a hybrid vehicle for some time. For a motoring journalist, it is equivalent to a food critic getting to try out a vegan veggie pesto wrap.

When you think hybrid, you think Toyota. The Japanese brand launched their first mass-produced hybrid, the Prius in 1997. It has been a car…
