Hooray! There are at least 2 million uninteresting me-too people out there!

Americans are finally getting smarter!

If by smarter you mean dumber and more like a bunch of inspirationless zombies then yeah!

I don’t hate the prius, but I REALLY hate the people who drive them! Those damn hyper-milers who stay in the center lane of the freeway, and have their damn prius on cruise, while only going 60 miles an hour! If I had a plow attached to the front of my car, I would plow them off to the nearest ditch!

@ idrinor

agreed.

Where I live, they do 60 in the fast lane. Priuses are for people who want tthe status of being environmentally aware. I’ve seen lots of Priuses blow by at 80 MPH, though. Wonder what their burning at that rate. Hmmm. Just curious. Only other comment is that this car is a turd.

If I see a Prius owner going 60 in the fast lane, I make it a point to blast by them at full throttle on my bike.

What’s ironic is I’m STILL getting better gas mileage than them, and I only paid 4 grand for my ride

idriorbarsaku hit the nail on the head. prius driver = idiots
hey de Nysschen was right!

For those who want to talk about how environmentally friendly they are being by driving a Prius, don’t even go there.

You want to save the planet? Ride a damned bicycle to work. I go 12 miles in 45 minutes every other morning, and that’s more than my daily drive to work.

You want to drive a car? Get a car you actually like.

Most people buy these so they can feel good. Those people need to be punched in the neck.

If you actually like this car, that’s fine. I respect that. But don’t give me that “planet saving” crap, because that’s what it is: crap.

AMEN 2 wheeled speed, i love both ends of the spectrum, i just blast by on my bike and still get 50 mpg going hard on the throttle, or womp on the gas on my 6.0L truck and give them a nice loud exhaust note as I pass them.

I was just reminded of that jetta tdi and prius commercial when a4 mentioned exhaust note…god commercial.

One of the ironies of life: I love to drive diesels and don’t like hybrids. But I can’t keep myself from noticing: although I agree with everyone on this blog, A4 (what a f*cken name for a grown child) is still sounds like an idiot, despite the fact that he shares my values about diesels and dislike of hybrids.

According to Johan de Nysschen , Toyota found 2 million idiots.

I’ve grown to love the dirty looks they give us A4, it’s how I know I’m doing my job right!

I loved that commercial idrinorbasaku, even though I don’t like VW. I LOVE a good exhaust note, something the Prius totally lacks.

What’s ironic is you telling us A4 sounds like an idiot by saying “Is still sounds like an idiot”

No offense, just saying…

I don’t care if the Prius becomes the best selling car ever made in the history of mankind ever since the automobile was invented; I still wouldn’t want to buy a Prius. The entire car just reeks of the word, “smarmy asshole”.

I didnt even read the name above the post insulting me yet I knew who it was by their piss poor grammar. One: how is the name A4 at all related to a persons maturity level, and two, get over it buddy, you’re just pissed that I continually obliterate any swiss-cheese arguement you have routinely.

if they made a normal car into a hybrid, I would buy it. Don’t confuse a piece of junk aura or Malibu hybrid though! I mean, a hybrid vehicle with a good v6 with a hybrid system. The prius looks so different on the inside, that it doesn’t look normal, that’s one of the biggest deterrents for me. The only car company that I know of who are working on a real mans hybrid is Infiniti! I would rather wait for them to put something on the table and suffer the gas price penalty than buy into any of the current hybrids…although the 250h drives amazingly well, and looks awesome on the inside! It’s just not my cup of tea…yet…maybe when gas jumps above $5 I will look at them…but chances are, that won’t happen any time soon because BP just found more than 3 billion barrels of oil in…I believe it was the Gulf of Mexico

swiss-cheese “argument”…funny

The pathetic agony and frustration transparent in some of these comments is pretty funny. If this car was made my GM, all the domestic huggers would be jumping up and down screaming revolution without a peep about any complaints.

the prius is an accomplishment in design, marketing and production…it may not be your cup of tea, but this is leftlane news, not hybrid news, so this isn’t the target audience…by all measures, a very successful car…

and it just wouldn’t be a post from lefty if i didn’t skewer somebody, so beatus you’re full of **** on the eco thing…and not the good organic fertilizing ****, either…

Leftwing is right, except for maybe the harsh words towards beatus… The Prius is designed for a different market than someone who wants/needs a truck built for towing. A Prius on the highway is similar to an F-150 or Dodge Ram in a Wal-Mart parking lot. Not the ideal environment it was designed to be successful in, but can get by when it needs to. Also, A4 your name might not indicate your maturity level but the content of your posts sure do.

lol…hopefully beatus knows i’m poking fun more than really flinging poo…

You had to think long and hard for that one, didn’t you, Lefty? Thanks for making me your target. I feel honored.

Actually, I agree that the Prius is a major accomplishment in technology. And I also praise Toyota for getting an early start on the “green” bandwagon. They’re really taken the lead, and they’ve run so far ahead, I don’t think anyone will be able to catch them for another 10 years. Congratulations, Toyota.

It’s the people that drive them and brag about saving the world that I don’t like. If they bragged about the fact that it’s quiet, it runs smoothly, it’s extremely reliable, and it saves them money at the pump, well, that’s cool, and I respect that. But when they tell me how they don’t pollute, and how they don’t use gas, I just tell them that my Trek 660 gets better gas mileage. Of course, it takes me quite some time to get to 60mph, and I need a long downhill and a good tailwind, but I’m not using any gas other than what my body is burning, which is good for me. And on top of that, I bought my Trek 20 years ago for $850, and the market value right now is still $350. So my depreciation is $500, I have only put in about $150 worth of repairs and maintenance, and I never have to refuel at the gas station.

The only thing I need to do now is figure out how to get my clothes to work and get myself cleaned up if I actually ride to work. For now, it’s just exercise, but I’d love to go nearly everywhere on my bike.

Huh, what do you know? I guess I’m bragging now. Dammit.

And yeah, I know.

Thanks Bosley! I like razor scooters and video games. Sometimes I play basketball with my imaginary friend Jerry.

I’m a big fan of bikes as well, but I also live where it snows for half the year. So a combination of functionality and laziness kicks in, and the most environmental I get is taking public transit if I can. Biking in snow sucks major @$$, so some people might see hybrids as a comfy compromise? Me, personally, work takes me to different places all the time, alot of which are too far to bike to…..

Anytime, A4, glad I can help!!……

“Biking in snow sucks major @$$”

Yes it does. So does biking in 115° hot sun, but at least you can go somewhere in the heat. You can’t in snow, especially on my bike. I can’t even go through gravel because the wheels are so narrow.

Too bad you can’t stick a DC motor and a battery on your bike and have the best of both worlds. Power for the uphills and costing the downs…..

Yeah, yeah, I meant coasting….

A4
Samintosh just meant smarter than you

Prius rocks
Hybrids roll

Don’t playa-hate
Appreciate!
Have a happy holiday!
DrFill

Thanks, Dr. Fill. You, too.

But I keep telling you, I don’t hate the beach.

What was that, that de Nysschen was saying about idiots…?

Good one Dr. Fill. You really got me on that one. Congrats, you’re the most boring person on this forum. Please provide a mailing address for your trophy.

superman,
you gotta learn how to use quotations and commas, because your post has many different meanings!

A4
And you are the biggest dope here
That is another accomplishment for you
Your resume must be pretty impressive
Your parole officer must be so proud of your progress
DrFill

Id rather be a dope than a scum sucking toyota fan!

It’s nice to see that Borat just runs to other articles to restart a fight when he can’t even come up with a yo mama joke here.
