One of Toyota's popular plugin hybrids (PHEV) the Prius Prime gets a major redesign for 2023. This week we share our first impressions of the 2023 Toyota  Prius Prime, its new sleek styling, improved fuel economy, driving characteristics, and extended electriconly range. We help a member of our audience find a replacement for her Scion tC with something more fuel efficient, like the Honda CRZ, Insight, and Fit. Also, we discuss the differences of allwheeldrive systems on ICE (Internal Combustion Engine) vehicles and EVs, and how to improve traction in wintry weather driving.
