I work in LA on a tv show. There are more Prius (what's the plural for Prius?) per sq/ft in this parking lot than a Toyota dealer. Anyways, I don't get flak because (according to them):
1- it's not my daily driver
2- it's a diesel (H1)
3- it's usually covered in mud/dirt/scratches -- in their words, "I actually use it for what it was intended"
from talking to alot of people over the past few years about my H2, then my H1, it seems the major complaint is not necessarily the mpg, but the fact that so many are blinged out, spottless, and obviously never taken offroad. I remember back before I owned an suv, it was funny to me too when somebody would pull up in a jeep all chromed out and squeaky clean. I'm not saying you should all run out and get some trail rash, or stop washing your trucks, it's just what alot of them are thinking
