Probably p_ss someone in a Hummer off and he would run right over you!Normich said:What if there was a rear window display tied to the computer MPG that said, "I'm getting (whatever) MPG - How about you?" Would you get one??? Do you think more people would think it was cool or annoying? :lol:
I prefer a low-key approach myself; also don't like having stickers all over my bumper, paint and/or windows - don't want my car to look like a one-stop SPAM shop.jflowerus said:Probably p_ss someone in a Hummer off and he would run right over you!
Sounds to me like you are that rare person, one out of a thousand SUV owners, who actually has a use for it.kenlacy said:Many of us drive suv's because we haul 4 kids, boats, trailers, sleds, atvs, lumber or whatever on a normal basis into the back woods, on lakes and throough snow and they are by far the best option.
Daniel, if that is the case. You need to get out more.Daniel said:I can't remember when I've seen more than 2 people in an SUV. And we know that most SUVs are driven to the grocery store over paved roads by a lone housewife.
While I am with you and love what the Prius offers... I would like to see the statistics you are quoting (and would like to see them in their original form), but in an SUV versus a Prius TC, the Prius is going to lose 9 times out of 10. My source: life and the accidents I have had to deal with after the fact.Daniel said:My aunt drives an SUV. She bought it so her grandkids would be safer when she drives them around. But the statistics tell us that her gradnkids would be safer if she drove them in a Prius, or any other 5-star-rated family sedan.
I'd not get one. Low key is the key, and people will see your Prius and already know that you are getting great mileage.Normich said:What if there was a rear window display tied to the computer MPG that said, "I'm getting (whatever) MPG - How about you?"

I think most people will not have the faintest idea what mileage you are getting. If they even recognize the car as a hybrid at all they'll say to themselves: "I bet that guy is pi$$ed he's not getting the advertised mileage and has to remember to plug it in for 18 hours every day." Such is the misinformation out there.Richard said:people will see your Prius and already know that you are getting great mileage.
