    Greetings! I'm lucky to work for a company which provides nice company cars. I'm currently driving a Volvo S40 and a few months ago the time came to order a new car.

    Choices were 1)S40 2)Prius 3)Chrysler 300 and I went with the Prius.

    Rumor is that in a few years J&J wants to have the majority of the sales fleet driving hybrids.

    Anyway, cool forum here. I spend a lot of time on vwvortex.com as I'm a long time vw fan but I'm psyched for the Prius.

    I work at one of the J&J sites in New Jersey. The Environmental Affairs organization sponsors an annual 'fair' for employees, and one of the booths at the fair was a group giving information about hybrid cars as an alternative to standard gasoline cars.

    I've also seen posters on bulletin boards talking about J&J's goal to have at least 30% of the sales fleet be hybrids (Within a couple of years, I think) - the poster features a Prius.

    So congratulations on your new Prius! I got my Prius (personally owned, not company owned) this past April, and I regularly see more than a dozen in the parking lot (up from two when I got mine).

    Hey Jeanie, small world! The Prius is great so far...quicker from a start then I thought it would be...but I find myself taking it easy trying to keep it on battery power for as much as possible.

    Greetings from one of the California OpCos! :) I've seen something recently, too, about the fleet hybrid goal. Mine isn't a company car, but I'm one of at least seven Prius and two HCHs at our site. I've had mine for a year and I love it! Hope you enjoy yours too!
