Car of the decade

Now that was easy

I’ve been reading through some of the Best of 2000 car articles in various auto magazines, so I decided to do my own version.

Except, when it comes to hybrid cars, the Toyota Prius so dominates the list that its not really worth pretending that there is any serious competition.

I would have liked to fit the Ford Fusion hybrid and the Honda Insight into this piece as serious contenders to the Car of the Decade, but how could I? In terms of sales, neither competes with the Prius – not even close.

So, picking the Car of the Decade was easy this decade. Fortunately, next decade should be a far more interesting story.

Still, will any other hybrid, including plug-in hybrids, outsell the Prius in the next decade?
