Thanks for the wonderful line! I drive a Civic hybrid and that's the second question I get after "How often do you plug it in?" I find the speed and handling to be just fine, and if I can't go 0 to 80 in 3 seconds, then I flaunt my consistent 52 m.p.g.

John Travolta didn't actually say any of that -- those are his character's lines. Peter Steinfeld wrote the screen play so either him or E. Leonard are responsible. Of course, some treehugger crew member might have added those lines in during production.

It's a continuation of the joke started in the first movie when Mr-Cool-Guy Palmer is stuck driving a minivan, and then convinces people that it's cool to drive one.

I was just in NYC and saw several bright yellow prius cabs. Wonder of the profit margin is helped for operators?

Hilarious! While I've heard mixed reviews this is the second very funny line I've heard out of context from the movie. The other line is about the amount of swear words aloud in a PG-13 movie.

I am a pedicab driver in NYC and spend dozens of hours on the street every week. I want to dispell this prius taxi rumor. Taxis are only getting bigger. If it's not a Crown Vic it's a explorer or some sort of mini van. we even have yellow vertions of those londion style cabs.

Taxi drivers like exelorating realy fast so they can be the first to a red light. With all due respect if you saw a prius taxi itr was probably some sort of promotional thing to get your attenion.

Do remember that John Travolta has like a 747 in his garage. Sure, Be Cool was a funny sequel, but, the man is a scientologist.

1) John Travolta is a Scientologist and lives beside a private airport in Florida in a monster house with gates for his Quantas 707 and probably personally uses more fuel than a lot of small countries;
2) the movie actually sucked and got 14% at rottentomatoes but had a few good moments;
3) its true that he did not say it, the writer did but that is like saying that Clark Gable did not say "frankly my dear, I don't give a damn"- you cannot separate the actor from the lines he speaks.
4) it is still a great line.

Cadillac - Ferraris
spell check. ;)

I have a Honda Insight, and drive it 100000+ miles per year. I'm a bank courier while trying to finish college. Used to drive a 50 mpg metro, but when that died, I didn't want another pos, so I drove half a day to pick it up for $8500 with 33,000 miles on it. Don't think you could find a deal like that now that gas prices are higher. It is definitely the "Cadillac of Hybrids", going 60-65 I get 70 mpg, or close to it. And it's not near as slow as the metro. And I always keep the electric charged, so it should last as long as the gas motor. My parent have a first generation prius, and my sister wants to sell her Maxima to buy a Civic hybrid. These guys in a V8 Grand Cherokee were making fun of my car with "It's a Jeep thing...You wouldn't understand!" on the back window. So I went and had "It's a 70 mpg thing...You wouldn't understand!" put on my back window. When they see me at the gas pumps, I bet they're not laughing then!
