For the price of a Prius...

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?!?

Where I live, all the liberal females drive Priuses. Wouldn't be caught dead in one.

So be it.....but I'd gladly drive a "vagina". I couldn't possibly care any less about what others think of me based on what I drive. If I did, I certainly would not be driving a Yaris.

I know...while the Yaris is my wife's car and I get the fun of pimping it out... it's not accepted as a female liberal car here because it's not "green" enough. ;)
