The hybrid answer to $3.00 gasoline.  Hey OPEC!  (As for me, I'll give up my SUV when they pry the steering wheel from one cold, dead hand and my credit cards from the other.) |

What is it? I don't recognize the body style.
Had a chance to test drive it?

Toyota Prius with every imaginable option.
They delivered it yesterday.
I drove it back to the Credit Union office and it actually drives good. (I'm amazed) I put about 50 miles on it.
I drove one demo that didn't have the stabilization package and it felt wallowy, but this ones tight and drives like a bigger car. It's considered a midsize, but that seems like a stretch. Good sound insulation too, really quiet on the road. It's got a GPS nav system that's too cool for words.

The gas emitted from mine could probably run a hybrid NY cab  Mine never overheats even at 50 0C in the shade, and can go continuously for four days without refuelling. |

The gas emitted by yours is also a greenhouse gas, just like cow farts. And the last one I saw in Bahrain was riding around in the back end of a Toyota pickemup truck.  |

Sailor, that one was either a racing camel [they get treated like royalty] or was being stolen  |
