The grant is now £700 and the Prius II drives very, very well. (I'm talking

stuck with it!).

Very enviromentally sound

In the same sense that a coke-float made with Diet Coke (but normal
ice-cream) is dietetically sound?

No not really. Theres no wool over the eyes with it as far as I can see. It
gets a genuine 50mpg in town traffic. Whats wrong with that? Plus it uses
a petrol engine rather than some PM10 belching diesel so it doesn't have to
poison the lungs of everyone just to get a low C02 figure either.
