r*******e 发帖数: 1461 | 1 Toyota to Investigate Prius Following Second Hollywood Suicide
Toyota Motor Corp. announced today it had launched a full-scale
investigation into its line of Prius vehicles following the recent suicides
of Hollywood filmmakers Tony Scott and Brian Gerber, both of whom drove the
company's popular hybrid.
According to Toyota, the investigation will affect thousands of Prius
vehicles driven by members of the Hollywood community, where the hybrid is
de rigueur among its environmentally correct citizens, especially
celebrities.

Celebrity Prius owner Orlando Bloom stands by his car that he hopes he can
quickly unload after hearing about Toyota's investigation into the vehicles.
"While the Prius is very popular among members of an industry that sells
both sex and glamour, we admit that the Prius fails badly on both fronts --
the car is neither sexy or glamorous and is downright dull," a Toyota
spokesperson told Hollywood & Swine. "Though at the moment we are treating
the two suicides as a coincidence, we can't overlook the fact that people in
Hollywood may get depressed driving it."
As news of the investigation by Toyota spread through Hollywood's long list
of celebrity Prius drivers, which includes Leonardo DiCaprio, Cameron Diaz,
Julia Roberts, Dustin Hoffman, Gwyneth Paltrow, Bradley Cooper, Sandra
Bullock, Orlando Bloom, Natalie Portman and Miley Cyrus, Toyota dealerships
throughout Southern California were already seeing a dramatic increase in
the number of celebrities and Hollywood power brokers trying to get rid of
their hybrids.
According to Melanie Waxman, a Los Angeles-based therapist, the number of
depressed Hollywood Prius owners she has treated has risen dramatically
during the past few years.
"Most in Hollywood, especially insecure celebrities, buy the car because
they believe somehow it will make them a better person when they get to
announce they're environmentally conscious," Waxman said. "But then they
quickly learn the sad truth that not only don't they feel any better, but
they're now driving an ugly car."
But Filmmaker Michael Bay, known for his collection of exotic, high-priced
cars, points out that although he does own a Prius, he never drives it long
enough to get depressed.
"I’m in most of my Victoria’s Secret model girlfriends longer than I’m in
my Prius," said Bay, who admitted he bought his Prius just to be able to
drive in the car pool lane. "Plus I very was disappointed when it didn’t
transform into a talking alien robot."
