Prius sales soared 69% last year.

We've been contemplating trading in one of our vehicles (a large SUV and a medium SUV) for a Toyota Prius or another hybrid. Seems like a lot of people are thinking about it ... and doing it. An article in the Financial Times notes that:

Americans bought more Toyota Prius hybrid gas-electric hatchbacks last year than Ford Explorer sport-utility vehicles, the top-selling SUV for more than a decade. ... While Americans' love for powerful gas guzzlers remains strong, a slowing economy and high gasoline prices are forcing buyers to lower their sights.

Anyone else thinking of getting rid of their gas-guzzler? Anyone have a Prius and want to tell us what you like and dislike about it?
