I really like the fact that the Prius was designed from a clean sheet of paper, or should I say a blank CADD monitor screen, to be as fuel-efficient and environmentally friendly as possible, with no compromises. Starting off with those goals in mind is what led to the entire shape of the car, which I think is the cutest thing on four wheels.

If I were to weigh decision factors, in the form of a spreadsheet, giving different weights to different factors such as mpg, looks, price, handling, etc., the Prius would win hands-down according to my weighting of factors, or in other words, in my value system.

Others would weight the various factors according to their own values, which helps explain why people drive different vehicles.

The Prius was the right choice for me.
