In 2007, when a large survey asked, "Why did you purchase a Prius?" The majority of Prius owners answered, "It makes a statement about me." NOT, "Because it's good for the environment." NOT, "Because it saves money on gas." No-- they bought it for the image. "Ostentatious" indeed.

I cannot say that I agree with much of what that author rants, although he says that Prius owners talk about how "green" they are, while the "greenest" car is a fuel-efficient used car.
Civic HX, VX, Metro, or Echo, anyone?
