the toyota prius is awesome when it comes to fuel economy there is no doubt in that. it does however lack in the looks department. i would rather get a few less mpg's and get a civic hybrid for the simple fact that it looks so much cooler. you cannot beat a car that gets over 60 miles per gallon when the cost of gas is as high as it is. if the car is re designed in the future i could definetly see myself buying one.
