Isn't buying a prius like giving up your man card?

That's what idiots who are obessed with thier manscuality think. Buying a Prius is like doing someting good for your enviorment (like planting a tree or recycling). You're saying that Priuses are for women, homosexuals, metrosexuals, and men with femiene personalities?

Actually, there's some debate on that. Check this out:

But anyway, I do agree that buying a Prius has nothing to do with masculinity.

No, hummers suck. Can we all admit the minivan is girly, at least?

I don't like the prius, hybrids end up being more expensive and worse for the environment in the long run to. You know when the battery's replaced it just goes into a landfill and seeps acid into the ground, right?

Cadillac Escalades are some of the worst polluters on the market, and are just a tiny bit more useless than Hummers. If you want a SUV, get a goddamn Ford instead of buying what amounts to the Chauchat of Sport Utility Vehicles

The escalade is a luxury suburban with a new badge and that somehow makes it way more expensive. I think the Ford Excursion is worse though, just gotta say.

"luxury SUV's" are stupid, wasteful and shouldn't be sellable. If you get a SUV, get one that's actually good for something. Hell, a real SUV would probably cost less an be more fuel efficient

If you have that attitude, don't ever have a big family. Or any family, for that matter. People buy minivans because they have kids, not because they care about what's "girly" or whatnot.

The link I posted discusses this.

I never got the "minivans are needed for a family" thing. A 4 door car works just as well. Most families have just 1 or 2 kids. I can drive around with 3 or 4 of my friends in my accord. The minivan is just a marketing scheme.
