MD..this is what i feel on this matter...I'm a Prius owner too..though it's registered to my wife as she's using it more frequently and i'm out of SL most of the time..before buying a hybrid i found this article too and few friends advised me not to go for that even.My wife was very impressed with the size and the options of the car and mainly the fuel economy,as she drives nearly 90 km a day to reach to her work and for my son's school..So now we have found a definite solution for that...I think it's the unusual curve which makes hybrids looks odd...I think it's not a fare enough survey to say that generally hybrids are bought by gays..coz ,iF you consider the Honda Civic hybrid, It looks same as normal civic...so if you consider this gay factor ,then can we say that Honda Civic is a gay car too...lol
BTW..i don't care about those stories..If it's economical for my pocket..whats the problem neda machan...???
