I think you'd be in a Volt before a Prius. Actually, in a weird way, the Volt has kind of grown on me. Not something I'd buy, but I am less jaded about it now.
Prius C roller skate...no better than an Insight to me, and a CR-Z or Civic hybrid might be better. Normal Prius is a little nerdy in an in your face way. Prius V it is.

"nerdy" is pretty subjective, although I admit that I wouldn't be caught driving in a Nissan Cube or Smart car!

I could see a Smart Diesel for urban use, but a Cube - amusing to look at, but I wouldn't want to do so every day.
Also, Brian the dog on "Family Guy" drives a regular Prius, which isn't a big selling point to me

If your going to drive a Prius V on the highway, it helps to be hard of hearing.
