2010 Toyota Prius

I really didn’t think it was possible.

Gauntlet thrown, we filed out of the room and hit the road in the third-generation Prius. Some of us took it seriously. Some of us deliberately tried to thwart the Prius’s high EPA ratings. But all of us had a solid day behind the wheel of the iconic hybrid. Thus began the “Beat the Chief” challenge.
