Last Thursday we purchased a new car. My old car was getting worn out, and it was too small for us to carry passengers, something we have been doing more and more. We decided to go with a Prius.
At first I wanted to name the car: "El Rushbo" in honor of Rush Limbaugh, who claims to hate Priuses, but the navigation system has a female voice, so we named it "Haru-chan", a Japanese girl's name.
O.K., Pros and Cons:
Pros
Good mileage (no kidding--I'm gettin 45 out of the chute, and I haven't started trying to drive nenpimaniacally
Nice styling
Large interior
Comfortable, quite drive
Cons
More cost than cars with equal acceleration performance
People think I am a Democrat
I understand Toyota will have a new generation model with upwards of 100 mpg in a few years. Maybe I'll buy one for my wife.
