    That Jetta needs a lot of servicing doesn't it?
    They don't seem to have called at the Toyota dealers yet, the Prius hasn't needed work yet has it?
    I notice they like to record in the moving Prius, it's such a quiet place.

    Sad for them isn't it?

    Vote here

    These guys secretly love the Prius, most of their in car videos are in the Prius.
    Must be tough to sell out like that.

    Green Human does not refer to environmentalism. It refers to green as in grassroots. Or in this case, astroturf - fake grassroots.

    I have no idea what this means. Can anyone interpret this?

    I've voted a few times using different computers; my daughter is visiting this weekend so I'll borrow her laptop as well. Vote early, vote often...

    I was able to vote again because my ISP changed my IP address.

    Also, if you have multiple users set up (under Windows XP for example) then you can vote separately under each user name.

    Not that it truly matters much how the poll numbers look, but why on earth would anyone want an Audi sans prom dress and all the problems that they have on a regular basis versus a Toyota?

    While Audi/VW are nice cars...when they're running right, I don't think they should even be compared for overall ownership. The newer Audi/VWs practically live in the shop. Been down that road before, never again.

    This also was my experience as owner of a 1999 VW New Beetle GLS. Several irritating problems, most notably the right rear plastic fender liner apparently came loose and the right rear tire grabbed the liner and expelled it out of the fender while my wife was driving at freeway speeds. She thought a bomb had gone off.

    Also, that car was a magnet for being hit by other cars, although a bright red color. So we sold it in 2002.
