Friends: 0 |  Well, another auto expert has weighed in on the Prius. In this morning's Washington Post, Metro section, an article by Steven Ginsberg compares the communting experience of a man in an H2 with that of a woman in a Prius. Really! About the Prius, we learn: "There are displays that show where the gas and electric engines are (regular engine in front, electric in back), one that shows which engine is being used and how much power is left in the electric motor..." Thank goodness for that MFD -- without it I'd never know where those engines are. treichard -------------------- '05 Tideland #6 |

Friends: 0 | That is funny.  There were several minor inaccuracies, but at least they talked to a pair of actual owners!  I was very impressed that they actually have the gonads to put a mileage meter in the Hummer! I did not know that! Here's the link: Hummers Versus Hybrids http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/conte...5102901219.html |

So an article with a glaring, stupid inaccuracy is "great", as long as it's favorable to the Prius. Now I get it. treichard --------------------------- '05 Tideland #6 | |
