    With you there too.
    I traded my Dodge Magnum SRT8 for the Prius.
    450 hp and 0-60mph under 5 seconds was fun but $1000/mo for payments and fuel got me thinking.....

    Yeah, the CT200h will be a welcome addition to the hybrid world.

    I think it is going to sell fairly well to those who want to go hybrid with a sporting flair.

    LOL! I do not know, I suspect many non-car enthusiast women wouldn't even know about the GT-R... I don't find the car particularly attractive even though it is quite a great deal for the level of performance. It would totally decimate my 350Z on the track.

    (I'm not a BMW fan at all.)
    Now BMW on the other hand... I've known women (well before the current GT-R ever shipped) who've had very positive to reactions to certain BMWs. One possible expansion for BMW is Brings Me Women. :D

    Good to hear your extreme choice is helping the environment! I also just pulled the plates off my 435hp Supra and bought an '04 Prius.

    This is my GTR when I also owned the Prius to save on gas, but car got hit and totalled by a truck so now I just drive the Prius for daily. Car makes 760awhp on race gas and 680awhp on 92 pump.

    I concur Prius is a much practical car to drive around, but will miss the speed and looks of the GTR

    Fuel efficiency aside, that thing is absolutely gorgeous.
