i wonder how toyota pr is going to spin this. They seem to have a really strained relationship with Motortrend, calling them Hondatrend at times for their love for all things honda.

Congrats Prius, this really made folks notice how beautiful a Prius can be once toyota gets motivated.
 
The Prius definitely left the dork mobile status with recent iteration. It looks decent when for years they made such a hideous vehicle maybe for attention?
 
I am not sure Toyota completely resolved supply chain problems.
They haven't.
Hybrids use considerably more microchips than other non-hybrid vehicles. Since Toyota has gradually shifted production to manufacture more hybrids, they have run into problems obtaining enough microchips to meet demand.

I know, last year it was absolute mess with their orders. I think around 09/22 they sold less Sienna’s than 01-09/21. Not sure did they caught up until the end of the year, but they had serious struggles, probably most difficult issues in industry.

They still haven't caught up on Siennas or plug-in hybrids, not even close, and there are still waiting lists on the other hybrid models as well (although a bit shorter). Toyota isn't alone on having hybrid waiting lists, all of the other manufacturers that are offering them also have waiting lists. I heard that it is down to 6 months on the Maverick.
 
i guess if you prefer ordering and/or only shop local waitlists are still a thing. if you expand your search area, no waitlists and no adms.
