    I read that he has THREE Priii, one of which he uses on his show when a car is required. He says it wasn't his idea but his very green-biased wife. "I get more sex since I bought them." (His words!) If I knew how to start a poll I'd check to see how it is working out for the rest of us.

    In the movie "Must Love Dogs" John Cusack's character Jake drives
    one. Even shows him towing a wooden crew boat with it.

    Someone should tell him that you're not supposed to tow with a Prius.

    Neil Patrick Harris aka Doogie Howser MD aka Barney from "How I Met Your Mother" has one...he said in an interview that he named it Judas. As in Judas Prius. (Perhaps a nod to the metal band Judas Priest?)

    When I first saw that, I wondered if Toyota paid the producer (or whomever) to put the car in there. I liked the scenes where they were zipping around trying to find condoms.

    The other week I was watching NUMB3RS and Charlie Eppes, the character portrayed by David Krumholtz, had a Prius. It was the episode about fantasy sports leagues and a murdered professional athlete.
