    Just bought a 2011 Prius III. Traded in my 2009 Pontiac G8 GT. I was sick of filling up the tank every 5 days. The decision was pretty easy. I have already taken heat from my buddies... oh well. Saving $150/mo at the gas station shuts their laughing up.

    Looking forward to participating on this forum. Beers on me tonight.

    Welcome,

    I looked at a G8 a few years back nice car kinda happy I did not get one with GM droping the Pontiac marque.

    Glad you got a Prius hope you enjoy it. Take you buddies for a ride and then show them your fuel receipts. What kinda MPG's were you getting in the G8?

    Welcome and congrats on your new Prius. Your buddies' heat will turn in to jealousy over time when they see how much you are saving.

    Just don't let the beers add up to "In the Wind" added to your name :)

    Welcome To PriusChat .

    I remember the excitement waiting for my 2007 Prius to come in. :humble:
    Every month since than I remain excited with all the features of this wonderful car. But Best Of All The Gas Savings, I get 56 MPG for the last 4 years.

    I hope you enjoy your new baby as much as I do mine.:p
