the Prius, launched in December 1997 as the world's first mass-produced hybrid
passenger car, has surpassed the 50,000-unit mark in cumulative sales, according
to the latest figures from Toyota for Japan and overseas sales combined.

Toyota Hybrid System (THS) and advanced interior/exterior design and packaging,
has been hailed as a next-generation four-door sedan for the 21st century.
The Prius took this revolutionary technology even further by
coming out in May with a more finely honed THS and more responsive driving
characteristics, such as sharper acceleration, along with other improvements,
including cleaner emissions and better fuel economy.
