Toyota adds a driving experience to their growing green credentials

One company which might greatly benefit from the scandal which has gripped Volkswagen is Toyota, whose hybrid models do not need the sort of software trickery employed by their German rivals to deceive emission regulatory authorities.

The latest Prius will almost certainly now come to the fore in the thoughts of anyone looking for low emission motoring and, having been unveiled at the recent Frankfurt Motor Show, it will be coming to Ireland later this year.

Casting aside my own personal feelings about Prius and recognising that there are millions of people around the globe who had adopted hybrid motoring as their conscientious contribution to saving the earth, it has to be said a new Prius is going to cause more than a ripple or two across Toyota dealers’ forecourts in the coming years.
