    I remember a time when the Prius was head turning. It was the first “real” car to be a hybrid. That was interesting.

    I would say that the Prius was never cool though.

      All those “Nice Prius” bumper stickers were pretty funny though.

      The mpg of those things is no joke

    • I got upgraded to one when I rented a car a few years ago, it was actually really nice. Although I’m someone who is used to driving clunkers (the local AAA tow truck drivers all knew my family, lol) and the engine shutting off at the light always freaked me out.

      I saw a nice looking sedan roll past me one evening and when I saw it was a new Prius I knew I was officially getting old.
