Green Smiles

This is what I read on MSN today about the Toyota Prius (which we bought back in March):
Love it or loathe it, the Prius is the most fuel-efficient car you can buy in America. The poster child for the green revolution is also the most popular hybrid in the world, with more than 1 million sold. The EPA ranks the 2009 model at 48/45 mpg (city/hwy). (The prius has a gas mileage tracker in it and currently we're getting 48.2 mpg...about 500 miles per tank of gas!). At its heart is Toyota’s Synergy Drive, which debuted in 2003.
Percentage of owners who recommend: 92 percent (seriously..why isn't it 100%?)

What the studies say: The
Toyota Prius is the top-scoring “image compact car” in AutoPacific’s VSA study. It is also CR’s top “green car,” one of its highest-rated “entry-level family sedans” and one of its five most reliable vehicles. The mild-mannered Prius is also one of CR’s four “most satisfying models” alongside performance icons such as the Corvette Z06, MINI Cooper Clubman and Porsche 911.
Yeah...our car ROCKS!
If any of you are car shopping you should definately check out the Prius!
