My brother in law bought a Prius and it was really pretty cool with all the technological doo-dads and whatnot. I liked the voice interaction with the computer, including blue-tooth compatability with your cell phone to call people on command and patch them through the speakers. The trip computer is pretty kick ass too. I think it's connected to traffic-reporting servers that alert you of traffic jams ahead and provide you with alternate routes, even.

Actually, his Prius was where I got the idea for our road-trip route from Washington to Vegas. For kicks, we plugged in the two cities and it came up with that route as a comparably fast route because of the highway speeds and lack of mountain passes.

Anyway. When we get our current vehicle paid off, we're probably going to buy some kind of hybrid. The only problem with them is that the battery is MEGA expensive to replace and it needs replacing every five years or so (or so I hear). Not sure how cool that is, but anyway.
