Celebs That Drive a Prius

The Toyota Prius has gotten a lot of attention from the media since its debut in the automotive world, especially considering that there are many famous “celebs” that drive them. The hybrid car has been somewhat of a controversial issue on FZ– I’ve often written about its affordability only to be met with some arguments on the contrary.

I think at the end of the day, people who have argued against my claim that the hybrid is more frugal are correct. Yes– there are plenty of hybrid cars that are relatively affordable in sticker price (less than $30K) and there are government incentives (tax deductions) and obviously drivers won’t have to pay for as much in fuel. However, hybrids aren’t the cheapest cars as a whole– they’re still more expensive to purchase than regular cars and there’s the issue of the multi-thousand dollar battery replacement that inevitably happen after 7 years or so.

So, yeah, hybrids aren’t necessarily more affordable than regular cars. Which is why many celebrities can enjoy driving them. Let’s take a look at some of the celebs out there who enjoy driving their Prius around Hollywood.

Larry David – The writer/producer/actor/comedian who’s best known for his smash television hits Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm can be seen driving a Prius around town. Maybe because he was married to an environmental activist for all those years.

Will Ferrell – The funnyman is a huge fan of his Prius.

Jennifer Aniston – This actress gave up her Range Rover a few years back in exchange for a more fuel efficient Prius.

Cameron Diaz – The actress is very vocal about driving green and has declared that she loves getting 50 miles to the gallon.

Other stars seen driving Prius’ around tinsel town: Dustin Hoffman, Miley Cyrus, Natalie Portman, Julia Roberts, and Demi Moore.

It’s very fashionable to be green right now. Hopefully it will always be fashionable to be green! I hate the idea of the environment ever not being taken seriously ever again. I guess that many celebrities can afford to drive hybrids, and it’s good that they do– many fans  want to emulate their decision to do so.
