There are quite a few hybrids here in Buffalo, but I've never seen a Prius with the windows down. They ought to just make them with fixed glass to save weight. If I ever do see one, I'll heckle the driver as I roll past on my bicycle.

I sat in the Insight-II while I was at the dealer picking up parts for my Insight-I. I don't think I've seen one "in the wild", but I might have and just failed to care.

My Ex-Wife and her Husband have a Gen2 Prius and they drive it like a regular car. With no regard to what the vehicle is capable of or designed for. Shame. I know honda is usually very conservative with their designs but come on... That new Insight is just to dull and "familiar" to really stand out after the marketing blitz is over.

You expect them to drive the a car with the windows rolled up when the temps get into the 90's? Ack!
