    I'm not sure if its given to her or given to the gov't. But usually hybrids from manufacturers are turned over to the DENR for evaluation.

    Below is the pic of a GEN1 Prius owned by the gov't. Pics taken at Toyota Bicutan three year ago.

    i had test driven it when i was in college, back in 2005 (if i remember); i was lucky to be picked one of the 25 students to attend an immersion program provided by TMP with our school. according to one of the conductors of the said program, who is also working in TMP, only 2 units of Gen.1 Prius are in our country. one was given to the government from TMP (for evaluation purposes), yung isa in-house study car sa Sta. Rosa Plant.
