The Fast Lane Car takes on the battle of the Priuses, pitting the all-new model against the third-generation 2010 version. And let me tell you, folks, this is a clash of the titans. The new Prius, with its radical design and futuristic features, goes head-to-head with the old guard, the 2010 Prius, which is hailed as the best bang for your buck.

Now, both these cars are known for their efficiency and reliability, but let's talk about the looks, shall we? The new Prius is sleek and modern, with a design that screams "I'm from the future!" It's longer, lower, and wider, and boy, does it turn heads. But hold on a minute, because the 2010 Prius, while not as eye-catching, is surprisingly not ugly. In fact, it's the least ugly of the first four generations. It's got that classic hatchback design, and dare I say, it looks like a normal everyday car.

But looks aren't everything, my friends. The new Prius may be a stunner, but it comes with sacrifices. For one, it lacks a rear wiper, which may not seem like a big deal until you're driving in the snow. And let's not forget about the challenge of getting in and out of the low-slung cabin. It's a struggle for us taller folks, let me tell you. On the other hand, the 2010 Prius is a breeze to enter and exit, with plenty of headroom to spare.

Under the hood, the new Prius boasts a more powerful engine and better fuel efficiency. It's got a plug-in hybrid system, offering different powertrain options to suit your needs. But don't count out the 2010 Prius just yet. It may not have all the bells and whistles, but it's got a 1.8L 4-cylinder engine that delivers a respectable 50 MPG. And let's not forget about its robust nickel metal hydride battery, which may not be as fancy as the lithium-ion ones, but boy, is it tough.

In the end, it's a battle between the avant-garde and the tried-and-true. The new Prius dazzles with its futuristic design and advanced technology, but the 2010 Prius holds its ground with its reliability and affordability. It's a tough call, but no matter which Prius you choose, you'll be driving a vehicle that's efficient, reliable, and, dare I say, a little bit cool.
