  • Toyota shows off Prius PLUS Performance Package

    Have you ever heard the phrase "puttin' jewellery on a pig"?

    If you put jewellery on a pig, it's still going to be a pig - albeit a flashy pig.

    It's still going to wallow in the mud. It's still going to eat slop. But, at least it'll look good doing it.

    Toyota seems to have missed that proverb. Because they're trying to convince people that a Prius can be sporty.

    While the Toyota Prius isn't a bad car, it's just™made for people who don't really care about going anywhere quickly.

    Nevertheless, the new PLUS Package was developed by TRD. Toyota's in-house tuning department. And, while TRD models are usually pretty special, this one is more of an appearance package.

    The PLUS Package includes a 7-piece aero kit, 17-inch wheels, and lower springs. There are no performance enhancements whatsoever. Toyota says that it's new PLUS Pack improves handling and provides a sportier feel.

    But, it's a Prius. So, how sporty can it possibly feel?
