When I bough my Prius, just a few weeks ago, I thought this car had kind of a nerdy image, something a bit strange, for tree huggers and the socially responsible. And that was fine with me. But I am realizing that the greenie, techie, cheapie paradigm is a bit too narrow.
I let my 20 year old nephew take the Prius for a spin he want nuts over it - not because of the technology or mileage, but because he thought it was the coolest car he ever saw. Now I keep reading posts, here and elsewhere, from those who are young and “with it” (not me) and right there with the Prius.
I sure think the Prius is something special but I never dreamed it would be hip. So with apologies to jeromep it is time to add a fourth flavor of Prius owner – greenie, techie, cheapie, or waaay cool.
