Yes. End of discussion lol.
Most people buy a Prius because it's a car that enables them to drive like typical A-holes but returns good MPG...for them...horrible for people here, but good for them. They also think that they are saving the planet by driving one because Toyota (or the greenies that Toyota paid off?) somehow convinced America that the Prius is going to single-handedly solve the gas crisis. When, in reality, hybrid drivetrains are basically a band-aid to the problem because they enable the auto engineers to not design better, more FE, engines.
Watch the "Smug Alert!" episode of "South Park" to understand why regular people buy a Prius lol.
