Does your HCHII have a "Hybrid" badge on the side?
 

My '06 and '07 don't, but this pic appears to have them (I think they are '07s).

hm. havent seen those. I would like that badge on the side. Not only will drivers next to me check out the hybrid rims..now they'll see that its a hybrid.

Based on the title of the picture, it looks like it's a Canadian thing eh? I don't think I want a badge on my side. I'm probably already giving hybrids a bad rep by driving under the speed limit so why advertise it some more :).

Not a bad looking mod... definitely not factory in the US or Canada.

OK, I will revise my statement: Based on the title of the picture, it looks like it's an MSantos thing eh?

kristian, I would guess you are right. ;)

My problem is that when I had the 07 Prius in the garage next to the HCH, it felt like the Prius was somehow better "dressed". I know this sounds silly, but I never really noticed the absence of the side badges until I had them side-by-side. As the days went on that discrepancy started to annoy me a little. So I got the badges on my 06 HCH.
When the 07 HCH arrived, the dealership installed the same badges on the new one.

Anyhow, I figured that these badges still don't scream out loud enough unless someone cares to look. It is kind of the same story with the Camry Hybrid if I may say so. Pretty generic looking until you care to look.

I ordered two badges from the dealership and put them on myself. The cost about 23 bucks a piece.

Yep, I've got 'em, too. Seemed the right thing for letting people know, in a low-key way, that I'm savin' energy. I've had more conversations w/ people at traffic lights and filling stations started by those two shiny badges. Don't mind spending the extra $40, but do thing they should be standard.

I too don't like wearing that sort of stuff, even brand names. Even more so on a t-shirt. I should be paid to advertise, IMO
