I don't know if its a new thing in general or not, but I know I do want to show I'm driving a Hybrid! I bought a TCH, and I am KEEPING the badges on it, 'cause I want people to know what it is! Frankly, I would have bought the Prius if it wasn't for the fact that the Camry is so much more comfortable. The Prius is way cooler looking. I know, my altruism is a little tarnished, but that's life.
