Last year the Prius HSD won four of the wards, including the overall award "International Engine of the Year"!
The Insight IMA engine won it's sub 1-litre category for the sixth time in a row, making it the most successful engine in 'Engine Oscars' even over BMW's M3 inline six.

How in the world could they compare the Prius engine to any normal cycle running 1.5's?
So... who won in the category of best 50kW electric motor? 
Seriously, when do you think electric motors will finally compete?
