The Prius is a fun car for what it is. Granted, it doesn't appeal to that masculine need for horsepower and torque, but it is a neat little toy for the geek in you with all it's gadgets.
Robert Llewlyn (mostly of Red Dwarf and Scrapheap Challenge fame) has driven a Prius on his internet show (llewtube.com) and given it some pretty positive reviews.
Considering all the bad press it got from car experts here, it's a good sign that someone likes it.
