Any one see the Prius in the TV series "The Loop" on Fox, it was last Wednesday's EP I think or last Thursday, don't remember which one.

The main charater (Sam) ran out of gas in his Scion and was pushing his car when a guy pulled up, honked and rolled down his window and said "See, Electric Car, they don't run out of Gas!!"

To bad he was driving a Prius!!

having the Prius in a movie is becoming a statement by the people involved. the movie in her shoes cameron diaz is a Prius owner in real life (unlike many celebrities, its her MAIN source of transportation) and the Prius is in the movie by her request. the same with Ed Begley in Must love Dogs (granted he wasnt the one driving it) but you get the idea.

also in war of the worlds, the Prius shown is the producers car... or maybe the co-producers... dont remember which.

 

There was a Prius in the parking lot on the TV show The Unit last night.

 

Someone may have mentioned the movie "Be Cool" somewhere in one of these "Prius in a movie threads", but if not, let me be the first The movie was the sequel to "Get Shorty" with John Travolta and Uma Thurman and in my biased opinion, the Prius scenes were the best part of the movie. It was a first gen Prius that Chili Palmer (Travolta) was driving after his Cadillac was shot up in a drive by and his insurance company provided him with the Prius. Watching him espousing the environmental benefits of the Prius to all the gangsters driving their Escalades was well worth the price of a ticket, or a rental. "It is the Cadillac of hybrids" Check it out. Two thumbs up.
