Actually... the source of the prying I's is this:
Toyota Announces the Plural of Prius | Toyota
So it is Prii by popular demand.
Oh, Toyota... You're more than a handful

So how do you refer to the collective? A herd? A pod? A congress? A murder?

Hahaha, you said it.
The act of driving a Prius; "PRYING" down the road, no?
(this is getting absurd  ) |

In europe I've always heard that someone is talking about "Priuses".
I mean, Prius is the name so it's funny to my ear that you cut the name and spell it as "Prii". Gotta be my finnish that messes with my main language, Swedish.

'Prii' is an affected hoity-toityness; usually employed to sarcastic effect. |

HAHAHAHA...
So if a Prius owner is getting the vehicle repossessed, would that person state: " you'll have to Pri it out of my cold dead hands" !
Would/could that happen ?
ROTFLMAO....

Yesterday i saw a Porche Cayenne (SUV) plug in hybrid. I thought it was a joke badge someone stuck on, but sure enough it's a real car with a 10.8kwh battery.

Last month I was in a parking lot and noticed someone getting into a (butt ugly) Porsche Panamera. I decided to wait to hear what it sounded like when it started up.
It didn't. 
I saw the hybrid badge when it rolled out of the parking space.
