I took a small poll asking only females whether:

they would like to have a sports car that would go really fast, but would be small

OR

a larger car that would be slow, but would help the environment and have lots of neat things inside (the Prius)

results:
Sports car: 1/13
Prius: 12/13

Car and Driver says the Prius is a "nerd's" car...
I say, then all the nerds get the girls.
