The '''Toyota Prius''' is a [[hybrid electric vehicle]] made in Japan. It is stereotyped as being very popular with homosexuals, celebrities and environmentalists concerned about their public image. One reason the Prius sells more than other hybrids, such as Toyota's own Camry Hybrid, is because it was the first mass-produced hybrid. Some other reasons given for Prius ownership are: owners wanting to make a statement about themselves, concern over foreign oil dependence, and the myth of [[global warming]].<ref name="Prius">[http://www.nytimes.com/2007/07/04/business/worldbusiness/04iht-hybrid.4.6491389.html Toyota's hybrid car more than a mixed success] Maynard, Micheline, July 4, 2007, The ''New York Times'', retrieved August 20, 2011</ref>.
