Yaris vs. Prius - Toyota Yaris Forums

I could not get past the "smug" factor of the Pruis. I also drive a Jeep, and I get those smirky looks everytime I pass one. To me they are completely a different car from the Yaris, which is a much more hip and fun to drive machine. You don't see a lot of mod'd Pruises (however your pluralize it) out there, but about a third of the Yarii I see have been. Completely different markets if you ask me...

^^ There's a south park episode on that subject, and I think it pretty much summed up why I don't want a prius. That and the manufacturing process of the batteries leads me to believe a yaris is better for the environment.
