ok, so i got your attention. out of curiosity i did a search in pc for "sensual" and two unrelated topics came up. i can't be the only one who feels/has this type connection with the prius. whether it's my costume national black leather riding boots up against the pedal of the prius ever so gently, or watching the consumption screen with the bars moving up and down and way UP again, the sensuality of the drive is impossible to deny. it's kind of like tango, very interactive and intimate. i've had Prius for only a week, but yesterday heading home from work, it hit me that driving a prius is not only fun and environmentally sound, it's actually hot.

My initial test drive at the dealer was fun, but did not prepare me for how involved I would become with this car. It truly is a more personal driving experience. Thanks to SKS, my car recognizes me as I approach, and when I leave. It reminds me if I leave the key in the car. When driving, the real time visual feedback from the MFD, the softly spoken NAV guidance system, and the use of voice activation commands, makes for an almost personal relationship between driver and car. Bottom line: Sensors, computers, and the latest in automation technology have seamlessly combined to make the Prius - my favorite automotive robot. Sorry if I sound like a Toyota ad. Did I say I love this car? B)
