We Rented a Toyota
Prius for Evaluation
Wendy and I have been thinking about a new car for quite awhile. We decided to look into a vehicle that is easier to transport our foster dogs as well as being more convenient and comfortable for our human friends and family. We were leaning towards a Ford Escape Hybrid since Wendy made the rule that we would not get an SUV unless it was a hybrid. We had a hard time nailing down the timeframe for the arrival of the Escape so we looked at alternatives. Hence the Toyota Prius. The Prius was equally elusive. None of the Metroplex dealers had one on their lots. One salesman suggested renting one. What a great idea. So that is what we did. The only place I could find was Enterprise located inside Toyota of Dallas.
