Yeah, let us know when you start seeing people wearing Prius-branded clothing and using Prius logoed Zippos. (More likely vape pens.)
I don’t care for them myself, but unlike Harleys they have substantial value advantages arising from more than branding, even if some people are into them for “virtue signaling.”
Well, they still exist, and they are fucking nasty, but it might be fairer to say that there’s been an expansion of HD’s market to include outlaw biker cosplayers (and other people who like riding two-wheeled tractors for whatever reason). All the bikers I know mock Harleys at every opportunity.
You know why there’s not a weird capitalist cargo cult around the Prius? It’s really not that great a car. It’s a mediocre sedan that gets phenomenal mileage, and if spend a couple bucks more on it, you get pretty much the best factory installed stereo ever stuck in a mid-size family truckster.
That’s it, though. I’ll never buy a Toyota again. When I was car shopping last, if the Mazda 5 had the option of being equipped as a hybrid, I would’ve purchased that instead. I’ll probably go back to Acura for my next car after I drive the Prius into the ground. I don’t want to inflict that car on anyone else, so I will drive it until it is well and thoroughly dead.
It’s worth noting that there’s a difference between stock store bought Harleys and full custom “Harleys” which may not incorporate any actual Harley Davidson manufactured components whatsoever. See the bike garage shows that were popular about eight years ago. Of course, most of those ran up well into six figures. I prefer the rat bike approach myself but that’s just me getting ready for the imminent and well-deserved apocalypse.
I’ve never driven a Prius myself but my last vehicle was an 84 Land Cruiser and I loved that thing almost as much as my 90 SAAB. Terrible mileage, but bouncing around listening to the CB radio (whip antenna!) stirring that saintly forgiving gearbox and then being able to sleep in the back for two weeks… Ah, good times, good times. Then the fucking cops stole it on account of an outdated registration sticker. I was just about to pull into a garage when the pigs lit me up, too. Assholes.
