There's a reason I call that car the "Pious"

[wombat_socho]

Eco-weenies choose the Prius over Honda hybrids because the Hondas look like a normal car. Gee, what a surprise. Guess it wasn't about saving the planet after all but flaunting your devotion to Gaia. Me, I think I'm going to get some price quotes on these, since these selfless souls are out there conserving gas so I can burn it. Y'all still going to Hell. (Rachel)

Song unrelated. Trust me on this.

Aaron's (AD Video dept) Prius is a pretty nifty car any time I've ridden with him anywhere. He's been pretty happy with it thusfar and he's had it for several years now. Toyota just did a much better job of marketing their product. Going with an all-new design, rather than calling it a Corolla or Camry made it stand out from the others. It's not necessarily just an image thing. It was a terrific job of brand-creation in a new field of products. Prius has about the same name recognition of Kleenex, and Xerox.

Oh, no question that Toyota stomped the daylights out of Honda in the marketing of their respective hybrids. See my comments to Cheb below.
