But in regards to who ever said wagons are “faggy” … obvious stupidity. For your information a PT Cruiser is more “faggy” then a wagon.

I feel like option A is the kinda of car Samuel L. Jackson would have been driving at the end of Pulp Fiction. And to state the obvious, Would make you look totally hott. All you would need is a Jheri Curl.

so if you wanna buy a prius, at least put a dirty 900hp twin turbo charged salleen angine in it haha. and then you cruise down the road and chicks be like: damn your feul efficent, how cute. and your like…im happy that our society lets first appearances get me away with..and engine that burns more oil then most. i mean you still get laid…

and the new prius is fucking ugggly don’t do it

and this is what some guy had to say bout hybrids…

Now I’ll set out the math to show why hybrids aren’t going to save you money.

I’ll use the Prius as an example which has the best gas mileage of currently available hybrids(all of my numbers are taken from the Toyota website).

If you buy a Prius, the MSRP is $21,100 (base model). You have a 1.5L engine that gets 48 mpg city and 45 mpg highway.

The average driver does about 45% highway driving, 55% city driving, and drives an average of 1,000 miles per month. That requires 21.5 gallons of gas.

Right now regular gasoline is currently at $3.79/gallon where I live. That would mean you would be paying an average of $81.33 per month in gas. However, we know that gas prices will continue to rise, even if they drop first in the short term. If gas went to, say, $4.50/gallon, then now you’re paying $96.56 per month on average. I bet that looks pretty good to a lot of people reading this.

And how much does this car cost you? Well, even though the MSRP is $21,100, you know that you can negotiate with the dealership and you’ll probably get about 10% off. So now it costs you $19,089.

What about hybrid tax credits? Don’t count on one. Hybrid tax credits fade away as a manufacturer makes more hybrids and disappear altogether after 60,000 vehicles. You can still get a decent tax credit on a Ford hybrid (up to $3000), but there is barely anything left for GM, Nissan, and Honda, and absolutely no tax credit on Toyotas anymore. http://www.fueleconomy.gov...

If you have pretty good credit, you can finance your Prius through Toyota at 8.2%. If you do that for 60 months (and you don’t want to ever finance a car for a longer term than that or you’ll certainly be owing more than it’s worth) then your payment will be $389/month. If you had a little money to put down, or some money in a trade-in, let’s say $1000, then your payment would be $369 per month. (Calculated on http://www.toyotafinancial.com)

Also the insurance: (in my case 30 yr old male in Anchorage, AK, married, homeowner, no accidents or violations in the past three years, minimum required coverages on a financed car) $204.88/month through Progressive.

So in conclusion, a 2008 Prius will cost you the payment of $389/month + $96.56/month in gas + $204.88/month insurance payment
Total = $690.44/month (We’ll exclude maintenance costs)

We sure pay a lot to drive. Thanks for staying with me for this long. Next I’ll compare the costs of a comparably sized non-hybrid Toyota: the Corolla.

So the MSRP on a 2008 4 speed automatic Corolla (base) is $16,050. It has 92 ft3 of passenger volume compared to the 96.2 ft3 of the Prius. You also have a 1.8L engine which provides more horsepower than the Prius and gets 26 mpg city and 35 mpg highway. (The manual gets 28 and 37, but most people would prefer the automatic).

The same mileage calculations means that you will need 34 gallons of gas each month on average. Right now that is $128.86/month ($3.79/gallon), but at $4.50/gallon you would spend $153.05/month in fuel.

To calculate payment, let’s once again reduce the MSRP by 10% which gets us $14,445. At the same financing terms you’ll have a payment of $294/month or $274/month if you have $1000 for a down payment or some equity in a trade.

Your insurance, using the same criteria as above, would be $193.38/month.

So now your totals for the Corolla (with gas at $4.50/gallon and no money down at purchase) is a car payment of $294/month + $153.05/month in gas + $193.38/month insurance payment
Total = $640.43/month.

By choosing the hybrid, you would have increased your expenses by $50 per month! You can save about $60 per month in gas, and that may make you feel like you are saving money, but looking at the big picture shows you the opposite.

its a hand-me-down from my dad and has 80k miles on it and still hasnt needed any major repairs and runs beautifully

however, im not gunna lie id go prius. for sure the least sick of the three (if you want the truth i could see you in A for sure for some reason and yea B but like thats any cool guys car, you cuold really pull off A which makes you even cooler) BUT i would rather worry about a car payment every month than spending like 75 bucks every time you fill up (let me tell you, i spend more than that and its not cool)
good luck!

So, go for option D, NO CAR!

Also, sit tight on the bio-diesel thing. That’s some expensive shit right now! And with food prices rising faster than fuel prices, I can’t forsee bio-diesel becoming a more efficient option, and it leavs a larger carbon footprint than traditional gasoline.
