    Let's put it this way. After watching this? I actually felt entertained, informed about The Prius and I wanted to watch it again. After watching Toyotas REAL commercials? I had to fight off the urge to rebel and buy a really large gas guzzling SUV, and I kind of hoped I'd never see the commercial again. I'd assume you could buy a small island with the production budget difference between "In my Prius" and Toyotas recent ads for the 2010. Toyota or Toyotas ad agency should take notes. Creativity sells, and it doesn't take 600 people dressed as houseplants.

    This ad didn't do anything for me.

    I wonder how well the hood can really support someone sitting in the Lotis Position?

    I'm sure it left a mark :(

    I can't help the feeling this is actually sarcastic...

    As for the hate for the recent prius commercials, I don't get what's wrong with you people. They are fine. They are commercials. Do they in any way change the way you feel about the car? If so, you probably need to watch less tv...

    OK, that was funny! Loved it :)

    '.... mad room for my knees ...'

    Ahhh, yeah...right :p
  11. F8L
    I thought of you when that part came on. LOL
  12. cycledrum
    I have been quite vocal about my take on it :D

    Problems with dealers

    I had all the warning lights to come on in my Prius 2001 Took it to
    Madisonville Ky dealer, said computer, relay and fuel pump and bladder need replaceing. Did that $1750. Called back and informed I need a HV battery. $2600. Left that dealer and went to Hopkinsvill, Ky Toyota dealer. Yes they said I needed HV battery. Added that and 1200 miles and I was back to dealer in Hoplinsville, Ky and said I needed new water pump and inverter. $4900.00 /what is going on? Seems that when warning lights come on I have applied brakes. lNow have 10,000 miles since problem and have not replaced either water pump or inverter. Poor testing?

    Any thoughts?

    I wouldn't be so sure.

    I didn't get a mark when a very good friend of mine sat on my bonnet.

    I'm surprised you don't get it. Sex sells ... being badass sells. That's why the cheech marin pictures with hot bikini chicks standing around his prius is so profound. That's why road & track et al has car ads filled with sexy models. If you have to ask, well . . .


    yo yo yo

    Edit: whoops . . . I meant Tommy Chong ... not Cheech.

    At first I thought they might be referring to the EV button... but then I quickly figure out what they really meant.

    <AHEM> It is the bonnet, not you that we're concerned about. <GRINS>

    You know the inside of a Prius is just the right size for ... a nap. Yea, a little snooze for two ... just toss a cover over the car ...
