Hands On with the New 60 MPG Toyota Prius (PC Magazine)

Here's what everybody has been waiting for: as promised, the new Toyota Prius delivers better than 50 MPG in everyday driving, and it's faster to boot.
(You have been waiting for this right?)

The Prius defaults to ECO (economy) with smooth acceleration, or you can press the PWR (power) for more aggressive performance. If you need full power, you get it in any mode by flooring the throttle pedal. And there's more PWR to be gained for 2010 by flooring it, 134 hp total from gasoline and electric combined vs. 110 in the 2009 Prius. It now breaks 10 seconds 0-60 mph (9.8) which at least isn't embarrassing.

I didn't know PC magazine reviewed vehicles.....
