NY Times Looking for Prius Owners

The New York Times would like to interview Prius Owners for an
upcoming feature story. The Times especially would like to talk to
owners in college towns, such as State College and Lewisburg, Pa.,
Madison, Wis., and Ann Arbor, Mich. If you're willing to be
interviewed on the record, please send an email with your name, phone
number and a good time to call to Detroit bureau chief Micki Maynard
at mickimay@nytimes.com. Please let her know if you'd be willing to
be photographed.

I feel the same way especially concerning this is the New York Times. Beware any that take up this challenge.

Headline - Prius linked to alcohol abuse on college campuses!

Well the article is out - Front Page even! And, surprise: they did distort MY comments, perhaps to suit their agenda.
NY Time 7/4/07 Front Page Article

They had my picture on the inside (Page A11) of the printed edition. I had emphasized that we purchased the car because we drive a lot (33K/yr) and wanted the great mileage that the car offered. I had mentioned that our daughter that it was cool that we were environmentally conscious. They used that part - but totally ignored the economy bit.

Basically a rehash of the CNW article with a little extra, I suppose so they can justify "writing" it.

"Honda, which sells a hybrid Civic, said it planned to come back with a new hybrid designed from the ground up as a hybrid, not a converted car. It is already giving sneak peeks to environmentalists like Mr. Becker of the Sierra Club, who drove a prototype brought to Washington by Honda engineers."

Does anyone have any info/photo sources on this car mentioned in the article?
