prius

And it's not like it's 2002 or something and they're all reacting to the prius...

But the Lexus Ct200h (which is a Prius with a fancier badge) is not acceptable.

If you drive a prius with a thought toward efficiency it is quite good.

My wife and I drive a Prius year round and typically a grocery store trip is ~40 minutes round trip.

We're able to take the Prius on 95% of our winter drives.

Toyota is showing off their Prius and say that it gets 100mpg.

It is exciting to me when goods with some public benefit also become status goods, though; the Prius and the Tesla are examples of that.

If you work out the economics, a Prius almost never saves you enough in gas mileage to be worth the extra cost of the car.

I would rather buy a Prius or a Leaf than subsidize this luxury car company.

It predated the Prius and looked exactly like a Civic.

A tiny diesel in a tiny car will get about the same mileage as the prius, but you will have to put up with slower acceleration.

What they tell you: Buy a greener car The perfect examples of this myth are the Toyota Prius and alike, it amazes me how wrong they are.

If Toyota started advertising the all new Prius with the feature "your ability to brake won't be taken away from you while you're barrelling down the highway at 70 mph", consumers wouldn't just not care, they would question why the fuck that wasn't there in the first place.

"Why does doing that require owning just one nice apartment in NYC a nice laptop, a brand new prius" Partly because owning a lot of crap tends to distract you and create a kind of gravitational pull that keeps you near the crap you own.

Buy a new black Prius--drive drunk rich kids around on Friday and Saturday nights--make big money--you're the boss!

Prius came first (introduced in 1997), then came the Honda Insight (1999) - the Civic hybrid rolled off around 2001.

It wasn't until the second generation Prius, with its radical styling that announced it was a hybrid, until it took off.
