The Prius (and the Civic and Insight too) is actually a pretty good car. If you're not in need of an SUV or a very large sedan, they're comfortable, economical, and a joy to drive.
I've owned (well, it's a lease) a Civic Hybrid for over 2 years now, and it's one of the best cars I've ever had (certainly in the price segment, not comparing it with a BMW 5 series or Mercedes C class for example).
I purchased it mainly because of the tax incentives on it, but it would be worth the price it would cost without those.
Next car (if I get a choice in the matter) will likely be an Insight, mostly because I don't need the size of the Civic or Prius as a single person (and it's a bit cheaper too). Environmental concerns have for me little or nothing to do with the choice (the lower fuel use of course is nice as it makes it cheaper to drive, the lower emissions are a nice bonus but no more and I realise full well that the disposal of the electric motors and batteries probably more than compensate for any environmental savings that would yield).
I was razzing a friend the other day who got a Prius. He is a staunch conservative. I told him the Prius made him questionable. I will not tell him about this site.
The closeups are even better.
Don't bother looking for the 'peace' or 'coexist' signs.
All this? On a PRIUS?!?
ReplyDelete- the friendly grizzly
I may never look at a smug-mobile the same way again.
ReplyDeleteif you're going to post a picture of someone else's 'controversial' bumper stickers, you really ought to blur out the license plate
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure that the plate isn't blurred out in real life...
ReplyDelete@cinwhig:
ReplyDeleteThe aforementioned sites posted without the plate obscured since it is part of the effect.
I did take the time to redact state and sticker information.

ReplyDeleteLOL..."Smug-mobile" - I'll have to remember that one!
ReplyDeleteA few riffs on the infamous Coexist stickers here:
Enough with the Coexist stickers already!
