It's an evil car made by an evil company inspiring some false sense of environmental "responsibility" around the world, when in fact -- the reprucussions of manufacturing the dirty batteries and the car itself does more harm to the environment than even a Hummer. It's justification is a farce, and the vast majority of its owners are pious do-gooders who have their heads in the clouds and their thumbs up their ---.

I think it looks like a big lunchbox with fisher-price taillights and it drives like my sister's HotWheels Barbie Jeep. I would never own one, sit in one, or even look at one. The fact I even talk about it surprises me and harms my soul.

If you want the absolute best mpg in the market, and won't settle for less, get a diesel VW. It performs better than the Prius in the MPG department and looks normal to boot. If you can stand to wait -- get a Chevy Cruze. Prius highway mileage, good looks, and a great interior for less $$, and the knowledge you didn't fall victim to a fad and a scam.

EDIT: The above was a rant, and not directed at anyone in particular.

Don't forget the fact that the prius has 0% domestic parts content and people have actually died from overwork in the assembly plant.
