Toyota Prius Design/Fit and Finish

Outside, the Prius' teardrop shape is a triumph of aerodynamics over aesthetics. It's not ugly, but it's not exactly the stuff automotive dreams are made of, either. Inside, the expansive dashboard, joysticklike shift lever and radically angled windshield imbue the 2009 Toyota Prius with a futuristic feel. Materials are generally high quality, especially the distinctively grained pliable material covering the dash. Fit and finish was uniformly good on our tester.

Who Should Buy This Vehicle

Consumers drawn to the Prius' killer combination of fuel-efficiency and versatility, as well as those who just won't be satisfied with anything less than the most fuel-efficient car on the road. Note, however, that the 2010 Honda Insight Hybrid may give the Prius a run for its money when it's released in spring 2009.

Toyota RAV4
The 2008 Toyota RAV4 represents the third year of this generation, and also shows how much this former "cute ute" has grown up. Sized closely to some midsizers, the RAV4 offers an optional third-row seat and the best engine in the segment. That rearmost seat is pretty cramped and best appreciated by little kids, but it's a rarity in this segment and better than the rickety lawn-chair affair in the rival Mitsubishi Outlander.

Audi TT Coupe 3.2 Quattro
Design/Fit and Finish

The all-new 2008 Audi TT has taken some ribbing from car critics for looking like a redressed TT Mark I, but the "squashed Bug" profile is easily the car's best asset, so why mess with a good thing? The styling updates succeed in transmitting a more aggressive attitude that's backed up by the TT's improved dynamics.

BRIAN STRASNICK Dr : Nissan Altima Hybrid

Now, if you want all the bells and whistles that make a fuel-sipping vehicle into an indulgent toy, it'll cost you some, because Nissan bundles its options in pricey packages. But in an era when choosing a car often means sacrificing your wants for your needs, the Altima Hybrid lets you have your cake and eat up the road, too.
