nancy, i know a couple that own the toyota prius. they love it. i've sat in the back seat...it's quite roomy. i can get details on pros and cons if you want. i'll ask dh to ask "R" (the owner tomorrow). dh rides in it almost every day when they go to lunch. dh thinks it's nice too.

I think only you can decide. The two cars are almost like comparing apples and oranges: The Prius is a hybrid, the Matrix is not, right? The Prius is definitely a passenger car, the Matrix is more like a station wagon slash SUV wannabe. The Prius is more expensive than the Matrix, but you may get a deduction on your taxes (you do in California). So, are you "green" or no? Do you need the extra space of the Matrix or no? Personally, I'd do the Prius, but that's just me. And everyone I know who has one loves it. (Some are even on their second one!)

Sounds very futuristic to me, Coco. Congratulations on your new car, Nancy. Is the color midnight blue anything like this? Hope we get to see a picture of you driving it one day!

What I want to know is, how did Nancy manage to get a car manufactured 200 years in the future? Sorry Coco, I know it was just an innocent typo. I just get a little silly sometimes.
