    Hi, I'm Bob and I am a Prius owner.

    I took delivery today on my 2010 Prius III. I really like it, very different from my last car, a Buick LaCrosse. I will love the gas mileage difference, 19/27 on the Buick vs 50ish I expect from the Prius. I will miss the kick in the seat acceleration the Buick had but not filling up every week, especially if/when gas gets back up to $4 a gallon. I also like being a lot more greener to the environment.

    It is taking some getting used to not having an ignition key or engine noise when I start it. I like the cockpit and the way everything is laid out. The fit and finish is good and there is more room in it that appears from the outside.

    all in all I made one smart choice.

    peace,
    bob

    Yup! A slight difference between Buicks and the Prius! Play with it, find the best way to drive it that fits your needs and enjoy passing the gas stations!

    the bottom line was $21,750 after haggling and the $1,000 rebate. the dealer had a lot of Prius on the lot and he had RepoJoe sale going on at the same time so he was ready to deal.

    Terrific Deal! Congrats...Are you activating the XM radio? I regret getting the II rather than the III for this very reason.
