Bahahaha! Loved the part about not being able to get out of the driveway. A friend of mine brought his parent's Prius (or was it a hybrid Civic) to school for some reason and he had the damnedest time parking it since his carport spot had a somewhat steep incline with poles on both sides. He had to get the approach to the parking spot just right and zoom into the carport from the busy street or push it up the hill since the little electric motor couldn't go up the incline. Actually, it was so weak that he would roll down the driveway toward the street unless he stomped on it hard enough to engage the gas engine. In that case he'd have to quickly lay on the brakes to keep from plowing into the building.

The comments are interesting too:

"i think i would rather swallow a .45 caliber shell before i drive one of these

i've seen the future am i'm glad i'm gonna be dead before it gets here"

Very Funny Commercial: Toyota Prius vs Hyundai Elantra

VW TDI meets the Prius commercial

Hehe, funny how the "owner" of the GTI is a VW bug.

That site and jalopnik both make me laugh. They're like Car & Driver used to be back in the day.

The Prius is to Americans what trains and bus' are to the rest of the world. It's a means of transportation for people who only want to go from point A to point B and don't really care for the method. There's no joy, no passion, nothing a car lover would like about that car. That said, I hope a lot of people buy them so that there's plenty of leftover petrol to fuel my LS3 V8.

Na, the Prius is the way for Americans to scream, "Look at me! I'm green!" I strongly feel that there are "better" ways to get around that are both more efficient and more fun. They aren't quickly recognized as being more efficient, though, and not everyone knows that they're more efficient either.

South Park's take on this was quite amusing. It had something to do with emissions?

Actually, now that I think about it, it's as ridiculous to lambast a Prius for being no fun to drive as it would be to criticize a Ferrari for not having cup holders.

We ( meine frau, mein vatter und ich ) were in München last month. In a week I don't think I saw one Prius. Saw lots of small fuel efficient diesel cars. But very very few Japanese cars and not one Prius. Gas was euro 1.30 - 1.40 / liter , $6.00 - $7.00 / gallon.
