Look.........obviously, there is a % of the public that will buy a Prius or other hybrid for 3 reasons..............
1) The snooty liberal types who buy so they can show the rest of the world that they care more about the environment than you do.
2) The hopelessly duped types who can bury their guilt buy owning a Prius.
3) The political activist types who would be forced to blow their own brains out if they were seen in a 'Vette.
It sort of mirrors the political spectrum. Dollar to a stale donut that at least 95% of Prius owners are card carrying members of some k00k liberal organization.
Nobody buys a Prius because they go into the showroom and say, "W0W......that is one sharp car!!!"
No kidding. It looks like a skateboard on steroids. Like to see what happens when they get hit by a pickup truck. I drive a 98 Buick LeSabre with 80,000 miles on it now. I think I am going to spend the money to get it really spiffed up: new tires, new brakes all around, new shocks, have the engine totally gone over, and detailed. Rather than make car payments. Not that I don't LIKE small cars, drove a VW bug in high school and then we had an Opel Cadet, my GOD that was dinky, didn't last either. My small car of choice is either the MINI Cooper or the new VW Bug. Maybe a Subaru or Audi. we'll see.
My, you are a complete idiot, aren't you? The standard Prius is a fairly roomy car, probably has more usable room than your Buick. And the Prius V has far more usable room than your Buick, and probably doubles the mileage. At not much more initial cost.
