Just saw a preview of tonight's shows on NBC, Law & Order and West Wing. I couldn't tell which show it was for, but there was a Seaside Prius in the preview... being hit by another car! If you'd like to see whatever happens, I suggest tuning into NBC tonight.

Welp, it was West Wing. At the very beginning of the show, a character was at a Toyota dealership looking at the Prius. They were giving him the typical liberal-environmentalist rundown. Then he hopped in a huge SUV and accidentally hit some poor guy's Prius after waiting on the 8-month waiting list. Eek!

Turns out the whole episode was about energy conservation. Moral of the story: no technology besides gasoline engines are viable, today. The best bet is lower emissions and the Prius (which they mentioned a good 15 times).

Hmmm, wonder if Toyota knows why it was the Prius and not the HCH to be put in the show? ;)

I'm assuming you say that in jest ;)

As a father of 3 I get to see lots of kids movies.
One of the latest DVD releases is Garfield.
I belive the vetranarian lady drives Prius :)

prius is cleaner than HCH

and also people wouldnt be able to notice that it was a hybrid unless they knew how to distinguish between normal and HCH or until they hear them say its a hybrid.

Hi Flare:

___It depends which HCH you want to purchase. This being the ULEV version with the large tank or the PZEV version with the smaller Prius sized tank.
