You're right. Design matters. People who buy alternative vehicles seem to cue in to "different" designs though. I always think of the 90's Prius vs. the 2000's

You're right. Design matters.
People who buy alternative vehicles seem to cue in to "different" designs though. I always think of the 90's Prius vs. the 2000's Prius. The first Prius looked like an ordinary car; footnote in history. Most people don't even know it existed. The second looks distinct and a little weird; smash hit.
- chao- 13y agoAgreed. My father, though not always a penny-pincher, embraced and supported the idea that he was a penny-pincher, of sound budgetary mind, and so forth. He bought a second-generation Prius not because of any environmental benefit (or not entirely: he had at that point worked in oil for 20 years, and still does), but because to him it showed off to the other folks in traffic "Gaze upon my daily fuel savings, ye mighty, and despair!"
