    They had the car on the show, or a commercial was aired during the show?

    11:27-12:17ish. It almost looked like a poorly-made ad built into the show. At least it wasn't some stereotypical hippie. I hope to see more of these. Maybe one with a macho guy. And another one with a regular looking guy but with a hot girl riding along. That'll do more good for the car than any flower power commercial that's been running endlessly on television.

    My brother and I were watching that and both noticed it right away, nice little product plug for sure.

    Yea, the placement was really obvious - what was less obvious was the blacking out of the lower window. Wonder why...

    Was totally cool that they put it in there, but I was rather disappointed that it was so cheezily added.

    "So aren't you going to miss the convertible?" "No, what's really cool is the solar panels on the roof help keep the car cool!"

    Of course, I had spotted the solar roof about 10 seconds prior!

    Well, they plugged the Prius again on the 08/06 episode on the horse show episode. Jill turned around and "beeped" her car. Hank asked what that was for and she replied she "can turn on the a/c remotely before she gets in the car". He was not impressed... reply was "for the three seconds before you get in the car?"
