A Civic hybrid looks like any other Civic, it will get lost in traffic with everyone else. The Prius looks different. People recognize it as "one of those new hybrids". Perhaps people are buying them so they can say to the rest of the motoring masses "See, I care about the environment, I'm making a difference". Somebody posted here a while back that they drove an early 80's 1300 Civic that got something like 40 mpg on the Hwy. I remember those cars, I would love to have one of those today. Great gas mileage and super simple to DIY repairs and maintenance.
