Doing a presentation on the Prius for Earth Day at local College

[freke70]

So, I work for a Toyota dealership, and they put me in charge of presenting the Prius at an Earth Day thing for a local college.

I found out today that a salesman from the local Honda dealership (horrible dealership) will be presenting the Civic Hybrid alongside my Prius presentation.

After doing some research on the Civic Hybrid, I found out that there are really not many options available on it. Kinda lame, don't you think?

Anyways, this is kinda exciting.

I looked at it before buying my Prius last week, and decided that i preferred the hatchback prius to the Saloon style civic.

I also liked the prius options better.

I'd had my Prius a year when my wife wanted a hybrid too. We looked at the Civic hybrid. Definitely didn't measure up, so now we're a two-Prius family.

Anyways, try not to get into too much of a pissing match between Toyota and Honda. The main thing is to increase the kids' awareness of environmentally-friendly options. Good luck on your presentation.

oh, I won't get too much onto Honda. I love the Insight. It's a shame that Honda killed it. Toyota and Honda should really just merge and change their name to THE JAPANESE GIANT. :P

Does anyone have a powerpoint presentation that explains how hybrids work? This would be useful for an event we have coming up here in Ithaca.

I don't know if anyone has that, but you can make one!

Spend some time on this site and others, use Google, and find as many images as you can on the Prius internal combustion engine and MG1 and MG2. There are cutaway images floating around the web.

If you do find a PowerPoint on hybrids, let us know.

well, my presentation will actually be outside, so I won't use any presentation tools other than my knowledge of driving the car for 18 months and the actual car itself.

Definately, I was planning to research and make one, but I figured I'd see if there was one already floating around. If I end up having to make it, of course I'll upload here!
