Yes, but we are talking about the arrogant smugness that many Prius owners seem to have to display.

Such looks were common 2 decades ago w BMW, and Mercedes owners.

I personally think MOST, but not all Porsche people feel better than us.

I do like the 928 idea if they had recessed headlights.

Fads come and go, but human nature by and large stays the same.

I have seen a few smart cars being driven slowly ( the mpg is so bad they have to!),

and I have yet to see a Prius being driven conservatively!!!
