Have you ever driven a hybrid vehicle before? Those electric motors are so quiet!
I actually had one before, it was a Toyota Auris. It was really nice for driving in-town.
Was it a first generation? I know they were introduced in 2006 and shared the E150 platform with the Corolla.
I'm actually not sure which generation it was. I don't know much about their history.
For the first generation only, they had a more luxurious Auris named Toyota Blade, but it was in Japan.
Oh, so it was exclusive in Japan? That's really interesting. What else do you know about it?
Well, speaking of the Auris itself, the name "Auris" is based on the Latin word for "Gold", which is "aurum".
Oh that's very creative. I'd say this is a very innovative idea for a car. I personally enjoyed driving it a lot, it was my personal gold.
Oh yeah, most hybrids are innovative. Early prototype motorcycles in the late 19th century used the same principal.
Yeah, I'm relly hoping they will develop the ide further, it'd be nice to have all electric or water powered cars too.
