Is Prius, Toyota's updated green machine, enough to bridge hybrid technology with the mainstream? Some readers say yes, others think Honda's got a better idea.

With the improvements, Prius is now a legitimate daily driver. I don't know if I'd call it pretty, but it's got a great personality.

Vince Schaff, Waterbury, Conn.

It's still too ugly. Toyota is just handing Honda those people who want the better- looking Civic Hybrid over the Prius.

Nyle Rioux, Henniker, N.H.

The Prius offers a bridge to legitimacy, but the Civic Hybrid offers a much better one.

Michael Marshall, Vienna, Va.
