bhai Usman how dare you tried to correct me. I know every car and everything has to be inspired by a Toyota, so this filthy Chinese company Byd copied good old Toyota a year before in 2008, because it was bhai Akio’s dream to put blue logos on Toyota hybrids but he was waiting for BYD to do it first 😛

oh yes, may your health wealth emaan increase and thank you for giving me opportunity to be the most valuable commentor on this blog.. Pakistan paaindabad

Toyota started offering Blue logos for its hybrid cars to distinguish them from regular ones from 2009. Before that the Prius used to have a conventional silver emblem.. see two pictures below:

Otoh, BYD of China was the first to start making use of Blue logos to distinguish its hybrids from regular lineup. The F3DM was the world’s first mass produced plug-in hybrid automobile that was released in 2008 and it was based on the F3 sedan (the mixture of Corolla & City). Below pics show BYD F3 has regular logo but the F3DM has blue, and it was done a year before Toyota went blue 🙂

am surprised that Honda is researching over Hybrid technology and making it better when it already claimed the strategy as failure a few months ago. Well, maybe they realised they were wrong and could not let go of the chance to enhance their market share.

just like Toyota claimed EVs are not viable, they lobbied against EVs, Akio Toyoda was not happy with Japanese govt, they spread propaganda in schools but then started to make evs (with the help of chinese)… 😀

Blue logos, if I remember rightly Toyota adopted it as a distinguishing mark for its vehicles' Hybrid variants, good old Toyota. Moreover, I am surprised that Honda is researching over Hybrid technology and making it better when it already claimed the strategy as failure a few months ago. Well, maybe they realised they were wrong and could not let go of the chance to enhance their market share.
