You and me both. I've ridden in the Prius and was less than impressed. Too much 'Star Trek' shit in it and while it may be more comfortable to drive I found it boring and lacking any potential for fun. Uninspiring, to say the least.

Plus there's that alwful stigma of driving a Prius, from that smug factor made fun of on South Park to the constant badgering on Top Gear (the good one, not the shitty US version!).

Being a Jeep owner I constantly see the self-righteousness of Prius owners on a regular basis, too bad they are clueless as to how much damage their cars (mainly the batteries) have/will do to the environment in the long run.

Can ya tell I'm not a fan?!?
