Prius sales are down 26% despite heavy incentives from Toyota. Smug pollution will drop with this!
Seriously, what's to like about an overpriced two-seater (*) without storage space, carrying capacity, or towing capacity? There are some very real compromises in design needed to get to President Obama's 55mpg pipe dream, and the Prius is illustrating it very well. The government gets to set the laws of the land, but not the laws of physics.
Now if only we could stop taxing the poor and middle class to fund cars for the upper middle class and rich. Sigh.
(*) yes, I know that it officially seats "five", but with 37" headroom and 33" legroom, the back seat really is just for kids at best.
Too much dignity. [Mark 10]

There are too many people who want to make us too dignified. Bartimaeus is
a correction. For the crowd wanted him to shut up. He wanted to see. Mark
