Reporter seeking Prius owners to interview

GregWright · 08-24-2004, 11:25 AM

Hello:

My name is Greg Wright and I am a reporter at Gannett News Service. I am doing a story on the future of energy in the United States. One of the fastest growing trends is the move toward more fuel efficient cars such as the Toyota Prius. I am looking for owners of the vehicle to get comments on its pros and cons.

I can only accept interviews from people who want to speak on the record and who are willing to provide their home town. Please e-mail gwright@gns.gannett.com or call toll free at 1-888-467-4040.

Thank You

Greg,
I'm only a Prius owner wannabe, on a few wait lists so I don't fit your needs. However there are a lot of people here that I'm sure will help you. Please let us know when the article comes out. :-)

Fast, easy, painless. Give him a call and let's see what he does with it.

Just spoke with Greg. Seems like a decent enough guy. Article, he said, should be out in a couple weeks.

Nice guy doing his home work. Told me he was going to send a photographer by to take my picture with my car. We shall see. He seemed interested in the fact that I was a reformed SUV driver and I got my car in Montana. Also interested in the fact the my son was a Environmental Studies major and was interning for the DEQ.

Got a call from the photographer from the local Gannett affiliate (Daily Olympian) They are going to come by and take a picture of my car Wednesday! Guess I should wash it. Hope it doesn't rain, though everyone will expect rain coming from the Pacific Northwest and all

Do you still need comments from Prius owners? I'm willing if you are.

Probably not. I posted early but as I don't actually have one figured he didn't need my input. He sent me an email saying call anyway. I did, 2 days later, and he already had enough volunteers.

A update. Pictures taken. Driving, standing, inside, outside, and every which way but loose. The photographer with one camera digital, one film camera was blown away by our car. Hooked him all we need to do is land him Wahoo . The reporter said the story will be published on the 14th of September. He said he would send a digital copy of the article. I will post it. :P :P
