We have had them in Canada for about 2 years now. Most people that I know that own or drive them, love them. They are very popular as in house delivery or service vehicles. They are still rare enough that you probably get some extra advertising by decalling them out. Then there is also the perceived green freindly points you get for having one. Some people who I have talked with asked the salesman to take them back to the dealership right away because they were downright scared on the road. Must be something about having a semi-trailer on your ass that is only about 5 feet behind your back in traffic.
