From the Washington Post:
"A legion of Toyota brass explained during hours of PowerPoint presentations that the new Prius has been designed to elbow its way into the upper ranks of the U.S. passenger car market..."
The third-generation Prius is not just for "some special people," said Wahei Hirai, Toyota's managing officer for design. "This is a mainstream car."
"We are not forsaking the people who want to make an environmental statement," said Paul Nolasco, a Toyota spokesman who helped lead the tour in and around Toyota City. "But the objective of the Prius is to get the family to the mall, not to see how far you can go on so many drops of gas."
I think someone needs to tell Toyota's ad company...
