Some people just don't care what they drive. But that's not who buys a Prius.
The Prius makes a statement. To me it says "I'm a smug douchebag who really doesn't do his research" but to the people that buy them it says "I'm saving the planet". Hybrids that look normal do not sell as well as hybrids that look like hybrids. People want to show off that they're being green. The South Park episode about hybrid smug was spot on.
The Prius is a fad that will pass one day, hopefully sooner rather than later.
