You should have scanned the Prius blogs before writing. They inform that there's really only two schools of Prius owners: Save Planet or Save Money. You can embrace both, but most will commit to one or the other. A fair mirror of the current state of US politics.
I owned a Gen II ('05) & upgraded to a Gen III Plug-In ('12). HATED the '05: masochistic seats, paper airplane at highway speeds. ADORE the Plug-In: fully-electric for 60% of my trips, 48mpg and a SILENT RAIL @ 95mph. COMPLETELY different vehicle from prior gens! Planet vs Money?
