Rejoice that the Prius owners are giving you birds. Like you a lot of us drive what we like and feel safe in. having been in a couple of bad wrecks I won't put my family in that type of danger. I spent a year recovering from one wreck and I have a better understanding of what happens when a big car hits a small car. I don't want to be in the small car again.
Surely you know the H3 didn't do well in front end collision tests among the SUVs

Rich, my Dad says the same thing, if todays generation had to shoulder the burden that theirs did we would all be speaking German right now. I feel the same way unfortunately. The country doesn't have the stomach for the tough stuff like it used to. Left leaning academics, liberal press, nobody wins soccer, "self esteem" over achievement, it is ok if you don't succeed mentality and give everything away politicians have turned us into a nation of I have a "right" to get it free and it should be easy pansies. They hardly teach history anymore and what they teach is not the real lesson that should be learned. Christians can't pray in school but every other religion can, we can't put up Christmas trees in public places, Target shoppers get greeted with Happy Holidays instead of Merry Christmas, we aren't supposed to say "under God" in the Pledge and heaven forbid you work your a$$ off and make more than the next guy because then you force the liberals to take more of your money away and give to the slackers that don't work like you do. I better stop before I really get wound up.
Tell a veteran thank you today. I thank everyone that has put on a uniform in service of the USA. We all owe our freedoms, way of life and whatever future the liberals don't take away from us to you guys. Merry Christmas and God Bless America.

3hummers, I agree, like you I decided that safety and convenience are more important than saving a few dollars. Given an unfortunate choice, I'd rather hit a deer in an H2 than some high fuel economy mini-car. Conservation of momentum is important, I would prefer to be the heavier object in a collision.
The used car lots are getting loaded with SUVs and pick-ups, similar to what happened to luxury and muscle cars in the late 70s. I think once this initial wave of panic subsides, people will realize that the sky isn't falling and there are some real bargains out there.
