But the Prius is really intended for the US market, although it's sold
everywhere. Americans just don't buy diesel cars in any great numbers,
they don't like them. In the UK, the main use of the latest Prius is as
a company car. They are popular because the tax benefits are huge
compared to regular petrol or diesel cars, and you get a lot of kit
included in the price (cruise control, reversing camera, sat nav etc). I
don't think most of those drivers give two hoots about the green
credentials (but they might find the higher than average MPG a bonus).


Almost every one I see around here (central London) have a TfL Licenced
Hire sticker on them.
