Of course the Prius isn’t all that either. A normal diesel VW will beat it in MPG in Europe. Ever wondered why Toyota does NOT pass the MPG test in Europe but is seen as the “green” manufacturer in the US? Yes, Toyota is seen as far behind over there.
But it also reminds me – it seems as if everything is turning green nowadays. And people just can’t understand why consumers aren’t buying more of it. Not rocket science – really. People buy for many reasons – not just the environmental impact. You think you can sell a “green” blow-up doll? Maybe look at functionality, price, quality etc first before turning everything green. Then we can start changing the consumers. More on this on my blog at http://angryafrican.wordpress.com/2008/02/18/make-it-better-can-i-interest-you-in-a-green-blow-up-doll/
