Are the Prii of Cambridge too hoity-toity and smug for even the classiest of catalytic converter thieves?

Or just plug-in versions, stored in garages.

So no, not newer models, but older ones, at least based on what was happening in JP (Gen 2 was 2004 to, oh, 2010).

The plural of Prius is Priora, not Prii. How quickly they forget!

Prium?

Priasses. Sorry, that is the plural for owners.

The 2010 Prius has the highest carbon footprint of a car sold in the US that year.
