I have, after much research and fretting, decided to go with a Toyota Prius after my move to Oregon.
I have, currently, a Package 6 (that, kiddies, is everything) Touring in Seaside Pearl. I actually want a Package 5, which is all of the neat technology minus leather seats. I hate leather seats. So my deposit is actually towards allocation, which happens early next week, and I am hoping that a Package 5 Touring, in a color I like, comes in. Preferably seaside pearl; but anything that isn't white or red would do. I'll decide at the point that i know my options. But if the perfect car does not come in, then I have this car, and it's mine, my name is on it. I will be picking it up the evening I arrive in Hillsboro (a Saturday) as the dealership is open until 9pm. No rental needed, yay!
I am really psyched about this car. GPS, Bluetooth, hybrid, gorgeous, and I love the shape. When I test drove it I totally fell in love. I've compared it with other hybrids including the Camry and Civic, and the Prius is definitely the right car for me.
The question, though, is why the heck can't I move today?!?!!?
I own a Prius. I love it acutally. I would buy another in a heartbeat, and I’ve converted at least 2 other people (guess I don’t get to count you as #3)...
Wow, I wish I’d known that, Derek. You would have been entirely too interrogated, though.
I’ll know in ... 3? weeks if I love this car. I already love it, but a week or so of driving should help to strengthen that, I hope. =)
But I’m sure there’s something in a shade of grey…
Something in between…
