From this website it looks like there are 92 different movies which featured a Prius. Here's the link.... IMCDb.org: Toyota Prius in movies and TV series How many have you seen? .... jf
a lot. for a while every side car was a prius...usually the 1st was a prius and the second was another toyota. it's been said that toyota was going to put an impressive amount of money into sponsering events and other (what i would call) "stunts" to advertise their products. haven't you notices that nearly everything on tv is sponsored by toyota? it's been like that here for... *shrug*.. the last half a year to year.
I'm not sure it was in the list but the HBO series 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' with Larry David (producer and writer of Seinfeld with Jerry Seinfeld) was often shown driving his Prius.
funny.. I remember one show where some lady got in a prius and "started it up" to drive off... they added sound effects like a normal car as she "turned the key"... lol... it was a current model and we thought that was very funny with the sound
I didn't see it on the list but Christine in the TV show "The New Adventures of Old Christine" drives a Prius.
There's actually a fairly lengthy thread if you do a search for "Prii on TV" that has pages and pages of references of the Prius on tv shows, commercials and movies. I thought I'd throw this in. It's been mentioned before, but Brian the dog on Family Guy drives a Prius. The first few times it was shown, the animators drew it very angular making it look like a 4-door CRX. In recent episodes, they've updated it to be closer to real life. This was in the episode "Lois kills Stewie":
