Toyota seems to have lost its way with the Prius, being very conservative/timid in design and spec. The plug in Prius should have had 40 or 50 miles electric range, not <20. They have lost their technology leadership in a segment that they pioneered. Disappointing, but maybe the 2016 Prius will be better.

That said, the Prius outsells every other hybrid by a large margin so maybe Toyota knows what it's doing.
