Just watched that many-years old South Park episode 'Smug' for about the 11th time and noticed one of the Prius depictions looked exacly like the new v. Wow, they must have had very advanced knowledge.
It had that "station wagon" profile, but was definately a Prius. There was only one like that in the episode and it passed by somewhat quickly. All the others were Prius gen II's.
'Smug Alert.' Its one of their best. San Francisco is destroyed by its 'smugness.' In the end, Stan Marsh states that "it isn't hybrid cars that cause smugness; its people that cause it" or somesuch. View of the Prius v is about 3/5 through.
Come on, people now, people now People now, come on, people now Got to drive hybrids, people now Come on now, people now, people now Hybrids are for people now, people now Good for people driving people now Get a hybrid, be good people now
My boyfriend always tells me...he may drive my Prius when we go places but he will never stop to smell his own farts. Such a great episode.
