    You can commandeer a Prius in the new version of the video game.

    Well, not exactly a Prius. It doesn't have two windows in the back. Changed a little bit for legal reasons. Also you hear the engine running even when you drive slowly so it's not a hybrid. More of a counterfeit Prius, I guess.

    Any Pictures? :D It would be interesting if it was used in some stage where stealth was needed...

    Here is a Promotional Video on the fictional "Dilletante", a hybrid car in the GTA 4, by Rockstar Games.



    makes you wanna buy one too huh?

    One of my co-workers recently bought the game and is probably playing it right now. :)

    Very nice! I look forward to this game's PC release! I'm gonna try and steal the Prius whenever I can. Hopefully, someone will make a hack to modify the handling characteristics, then I can get better twisty-handling ability like my real-life Prius!

    Yeah I noticed that while driving around. I stole one that was parked on the side of the road (how else was I supposed to get one???;)). But overnight someone stole it away from me and now I'm having a hard time finding another one to get.

    I also wanted to add a funny bit from the game. One of the radio stations you can listen to is talk radio, and there is this show talking about liberals (referred to in the game as hippies) getting all the women because of their hybrid cars. Then it gave an example of this situation:

    Guy with a nonhybrid car: Hey, do you wanna go out some time?
    Girl responds: Eww no.

    Guy with a hybrid car: Hey, do you wanna go out some time?
    Girl responds: Hell yeah! (except she actually said something not appropriate for PC :D)

    I thought it was funny.
