The bZ4x is widely considered to be one of the weakest offerings on the full BEV market, vs the decade long market leader in its segment.

Sure, totally reasonable comparison.

Not even just a decade long market leader, the new Prius has been heralded by auto reviewers as pretty much the first Prius that is actually kind of 'cool' looking and sporty and isn't just a econobox designed purely for best fuel economy with compromises in everything else.

So, they're comparing a huge step release of the Prius (which, always generates a lot of sales) vs. nearly the worst EV on the market.

Which is really fucking weird, considering they (Toyota) already made a fantastic RAV4 EV from 1997–2003(!!) and 2012–2014. The second time was a collaboration with... you guessed it, Tesla.
