I'm on my second Prius and will sell it only after the S has found a home in our garage. A friend chided me about buying "statement car" and another commented that the Prius looked like a cross between a science project and the wooden "pinewood derby" that Cub Scouts race. If the Prius is a statement about values, it is a whisper compared to the shout that the Model S will be. I had considered the plug-in Prius, but thought it might be too timid a statement for 2012. I hope that a lot of people will be doing a lot of shouting very soon.

I really do not understand why people choose a Prius over a Diesel....Diesel vehicles are way more fun to drive and they get MPG's that are close to a Prius. I guess Prius makes a "hollywood" statement where as a diesel has a more "blue-collared" stigma attached to it?

Before my daily driver became an electric, I daily drove diesel vehicles (from when I got my license up to 2010). I drove a friends Prius once and I think I would rather walk, take public transit, or bike than drive that vehicle; it is basically a soulless appliance.
