Just picked up my 2008 Silver pkg #2

I've been lurking here for many, many months and I finally picked up
my new 2008 Silver pkg #2. Wow, this is great! I want to thank
everyone here for helping make this a relatively easy decision;
without the all the praise coming from such knowledgeable people I'm
not sure I would have had the confidence to buy into this new
technology.

I first went to the dealer to look at the Matrix, because we knew that our
family of four had to have a hatchback (no SUV's or minivans for us)
after 15+ years of driving Camry sedans and having to borrow cars
everytime we needed to move something large. Well, the Prius was
right next to the Matrix and I was quite surprised to see that the price
wasn't that much more and the cargo space wasn't that much less.
The Matrix styling (a bit too spaceship like for us) and not-as-good
crash test ratings made the Prius a serious contender. The hybrid coolness
factor had the 12-year-old pushing hard for the Prius. Priuschat finally tipped
the scale.

Jay Li at Herb Chambers Toyota in Boston was great, no pressure and a
great price. Even the finance manager was low pressure.

thanks again everyone!
