    As I've stated many times before, I generally do not take photos of 2004-newer Prius Hybrids unless they are unique in some way. However, most of them seem to be rather ubiquitous (and boring) colors; Beige, Black, Gray, Silver, etc. Even I'm guilty of following this trend, as I drive a silver Tacoma! My mom drives a white Nissan Murano, and my dad drives a blue GMC Yukon, so at least my dad went with something different for the first time in years...

    Anyway, I think red looks good even on a Prius! However, I decided to take a picture of ever Prius I saw in Doylestown that day a short time later, just to show ubiquitous the damn things are in my area! This ended up being one of three red ones I saw on the 20th...

    I was still not planning on having a Prius photography spree when I took this picture, and only took this picture because I liked the angle of the car as well as the lighting...

    It also has one of those cool but hard-to-read Flagship Niagara plates!

    It was after seeing this car maybe a block at most from the silver one that I decided to start taking a picture of Prius I could find; Note that this one is registered in Florida

    And there's another just around the corner...

    In majority democrat Doylestown Borough, the presence of so many hybrid vehicles should not be shocking!

    One of two Prius Vs I saw in the library parking lot, and one of five total! I actually think the Prius V looks better than the original...

    There were quite a few Toyotas at the public library, including the aforementioned Prius Hybrids, a Tundra, a 4Runner, a Corolla, an Avalon, a Cheyv Prism (rebadged Corolla), a Yaris, and this RAV4, among others...

    Back in the late eighties and early nineties, Consumer Reports actually said the Chevy/Geo Prism (initially called the Chevy Nova I believe) was a better buy than a Toyota Corolla because it had was essentially the same car, but it had a better warranty and a much lower price; This early 2000s model has seen better better days, but I've seen it driving around Doylestown Borough for years now and I'm glad to see it year after year...

    These really are great cars!

    Why is it that whenever I see a Yaris, they are typically in fair condition at best? This one is sporting rocker panel damage and a missing a hubcap as you can see, and also had rust spots on the driver's side...

    This RAV4 from North Carolina is a front-wheel drive model, as identified by the lack of an "AWD" emblem beneath the "XLE" emblem...

    I took a picture of this one because I've always liked this orange color!
