well its not that surprising, they just refreshed the car, so a lot of people are upgrading. Especially since the prius operates in the same trendy market, where people strive to have the best and latest.
- CalmQuiet 17y ago"Trendy market" does not describe the owners that I know. They usually rank high instead on either Green scale or cheap-skate scales. [ disclosure: I rank high on both ] If I had significant distances to drive I'd sure be watching to optimize my gov-sponsored rebate options to acquire one before $4 gas returns and jacks up competition for them.
- vaksel 17y agogreen IS trendy.
- FluidDjango 17y agoYes. But I would argue that trendiness it not its essence It's much more of a political/conscience issue - that is what the Prius appeals too (IMHO) (as well as thrift).
- abstractbill 17y agoI've seen a lot of taxi priuses recently, which makes me think they're good for more than just looking trendy. I would assume taxi drivers tend to buy cars that are economical to run and maintain, more than any other factor.
- gojomo 17y agoSometimes the use of efficient/alternative cars is mandated by the taxi licensing authority, regardless of the total economic calculation. (It may not be the "taxi drivers" expressing preference via these purchases.)
