It's funny, here in the land of the Red/Green Coalition where environmental anything goes, almost nobody has heard of the Toyota Prius. Okay, that's from the not-so-representative sample that my co-workers make up. Sure, they've heard of hybrid cars, but Prius? Nope. That's probably why the dealer said he has several of these cars on his lot available for a test drive. The States? You can't find one. They come in, they go out, and the dealer isn't interested in people coming by for test drives. In fact, Bill was told he couldn't do a test drive with out putting a down payment down for the car!
I'm taking a Prius out for a test drive today. Well, Stefan is taking it for a test drive since I technically can't drive over here - never bothered to figure out how to take the written test and go through the hassle of getting a German license. So I should know in a few hours if I really want this car.
