My meaning exactly. I couln't say that about anyone here, because they are actively working on improving driving/aero. I remember an older interview from Top Gear, with Jay Leno about the Prius being a fashion statement. "in the US, everyone should know the good work we are doing annonymously."
My old roommates sig. Other just bought a new Prius C because the fuel savings paid for the vehicle, and it's amazing how many improvements they leave open for advances. But I guess when you build the perfect car, you're done building.

That's how I see it. When a Prius out accelerates me, or passes me, I just wonder if they are averaging over 40...either way, my choice makes me happy.
I really look forward to these. I hope they can be reasonably priced. At the NAIAS and CLE AS, they had stripped out Fiestas with standards for just under 15, I believe. Seems like a smart buy for cheap and cheerful.
