Am I insane for thinking about buying a Toyota now?
I'm thinking, "no".
But one thing to be aware of - It's more of an advantage to drive a Prius (compared to a non-hybrid) if you do a lot of city driving than if you do a lot of highway driving.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

My parents have a Prius and are pretty happy with it, but I think it's the 2010 model that has had the problems.
There's also the Volkswagon TDI models if you're looking for high hwy mileage.

Has Toyota fixed all the issues cropping up left and right?
I'd go for the hybrid Civic, myself, but I hate driving Toyotas.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I generally like Salt Lake City's airport, but there are way too many fucking people in the basement, and not enough seats. And it's impossible to hear. And the internet signal is weak. And no one has brought me a pony.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.
I have a 2004 Civic Hybrid and love it. Stick shift.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Do you have a Hillshire Farms sandwich? I've been told on the teevee that that will bring you a pony.

Don't tell Dana that her pony was sucked into a 777 engine...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Boo, Dana.
A friend of mine who was weighing size, efficiency, and cost, ended up with a Fit and loves it.

I think now would be a great time to buy a 2008 Prius. I'm guessing there are some amazing deals to be had, given Toyota's current reputation.

Trust my rage
My 70 miles is 95% interstate where I'd be going probably 80mph. My secondary concern is that there is often snow in the winter. Maybe I should be expanding my search?
