The Prius is as you note, a technogeeks dream vehicle and definitely an environmentalists love child. And, being a Toyota product, likely be hellishly reliable in comparison to other hybrids. However, the elegant and complex running gear suggests that it'll be less reliable than a tried-and-true gasoline engined conveyance. And if you don't drive much, watching the Prius depreciate in the driveway could be painful in the long run. Just my $0.02 yen comments as a unrepentent car junkie.
