For the price of a Prius...

Judgements aren't only negative rejections.
Acceptance and approval are also judgements.

...because, outside of YarisWorld which accounts for a tiny portion of actual Yaris owners, most people's perception of the Yaris and the people who drive a Yaris is that it's a cheap, tin-can, econo-car and it's all the person driving it could afford.

I'm actually proud of that cheap econo-car perception.

Because I live within my means I was able to save up enough money to buy a brand new one without being a slave to a car loan.

I promise you that the "Yaris cool factor" that we like to tout around here is almost completely nonexistent out in the rest of the world.

I agree... but for me, cool is not as important as cheap reliable transportation.

Oh...for the record...by far, woman out number men, I'd say 10 to 1 as Yaris owners around here anyway. Maybe you guys could hang some of the those big truck-nuts from the back bumper of your Yaris and people might not notice what feminine little shit boxes you drive.

It's the same here, Bill...
Where I live, it's 84% Democrat... and here, the Prius is the feminine political symbol of liberalism.

I can completely respect that.

I have no issues with the Yaris, as I own one. In fact, I own 2...a liftback and a sedan. So clearly being at least a bit frugal is important to me. And what others think of me because I drive a Yaris is obviously not important to me either. I just find it rather entertaining to listen to others bash the Prius as if the rest of the world somehow "looks up to the Yaris".

That said...this "rolling vagina" will probably be the next family Buggy for my bunch.

What do you feel bashing a Prius has to do with what the rest of the world thinks of the Yaris? I would have the same opinion re the Prius Liftback and the Prius V if I was hopping along on a pogo stick or driving a Veyron.
