The only Prius backlash I've heard of is in California where they decided to allow Prius owners to drive in the HOV (high occupancy vehicle) express lanes even with just one person in the car. This resulted in very congested express lanes which irked the regular car-poolers. SUV's were not mentioned in the article.
