WHAT A SHAME, NOT!! Looks like people are finally realizing that this brand of car isn't the best brand of automotive driving. Don't be looking at me to shed any tears for the "Yoda" brand.

This is a refreshing article...

the truth; all auto makers are feeling the hit of the slow economical situation. Maybe all of these people trying to save money will buy a Forus and save gas while supporting OUR economy here in the US...

AND, maybe people are beginning to realize you can't turn heads driving in a Prius

Same thing is happening with all car makes.
The big trucks and SUVs aren't moving.
I checked my local dealers (10 of them) online.
All the big trucks you want.
13 Rangers out of 10 dealers.
Read the article it says Toyota Prius and Yaris are doing brisk business.

well actually you can turn heads while driving a prius if you mod it like a stang! Saw this one silver prius with dual racing stripes...one racing stripe was a darker grey and the other black while it had this weird looking hood scoop and 18s!

I'd like to see one with a big ol' spoiler like the ones on the Imprezas!

I would never be caught dead driving one of those...ever. I would buy a ford Focus or a Chevrolet Cobalt or something, but never a foreign vehicle, never mind a Pruis. I like to support the economy of the country I live in....besides, Fords overall quality is right up there now with Toyota..
