Perhaps this isn't new news, but I just found this article on Crave, a CNet affiliate, article debunking the old Hummer better than Prius article that made so much fuss in the press and gave a bunch of "good 'old boy" reasons to gloat over their Hummers and 4 door full size pickups...

Finally some MSM attention to the facts! George Will and all the other "journalists" who blindly accepted the CNW report should be forced to write retractions.

Not that that will ever happen.

Unfortunately, while we all knew the true facts, the rest of the world just will not accept them, and are more than happy to hop on the bandwagon in favour of SUVs. A number of other threads indicate how these anti-Prius people just do not want to listen to the real information.

And even worse, publications like this just will not make it into the mainstream of reading material.

But they will get indexed by google... and when someone searches for hummer vs prius, they may find it and read it. So there is a silver lining...
