I'm not big on the stereotypes- but yes I believe in this case some stereotyping fits. The reason for this is that Prius outsell other hybrids by a substantial amount specifically because they look like hybrids. So the conclusion is that people are buying Priuses because they want to do their part to 'save the Earth' (edit: AND they want people to know it). I'm not sure if that makes them smug-but the path from point a to point b is pretty straight in this case. Meanwhile, hairstyles inspired by MacGyver come and go.
