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?

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.
