This moron is just plain and simple Jealous. He knows he made a big mistake and it's going to be several years before he can rectify it so instead of telling the truth (he made a mistake) he tries to make you feel bad about your choice. Every time he makes a remark just smile and say " you must be right after all you own a civic" Then tell him you were offered 5000 over book for your car by a private buyer and get someone you know to offer 5000 less to him than bluebook! Then discuss it next time you carpool.

You got it right. This guy is ultra competitive and looks down his nose at everybody! He really is beside himself when somebody younger, better looking, and less educated surpass' him. He can't stand the fact that in order to beat me, he now has to find a cheaper car that gets better MPG. He's pulling what's left of his hair out looking for it.

Because after installing the Hymotion 5KWH Li/Ion nanophospate battery pack one can drive 40 miles on a charge in EV mode.

Without using any gasoline at all.

I picked up the July 2008 issue of Consumer Reports yesterday. "Gas Saving Cars" is the topic. they rate 31 new small sedans.

"Toyota Prius, of course" appears a LOT!
