    but I got another email from the Union of Concerned Scientists, trying to get a certain amount of hybrid owners to sign up. If you'd like to , go to this web page : http://ucsaction.org/ucsaction/hybridcente...llenge_taf.html to sign up. I think they are trying to make a statement. I wish I could make it but I have to save a little more.

    If they were serious they'd get a decent webmaster.

    They still have less than 350 hybrids listed. I know they must have more than that because it took them forever to post me and I registered the first day. And I had to go back and do it again. And I still haven't gotten my window sticker.

    You want to do something like this...you better have your act together. They don't.

    You also have to realize that the vast majority of automobile owners are not active on the web. So anything that's Internet-based is always going to represent only a fraction of the population. The sample will also be skewed toward those who don't mind using technology.

    If you (or that website) want to know how many Priuses there are, Toyota's sales figures are a much better bet.

    What's really the point? What kind of a "statement" do you make by signing a web page that you have not already made by choosing to buy and drive a Prius? If they ask for your address you can expect to get mail from them, and if they ask for your email, you'll get spam.

    I happen to like the Union of Concerned Scientists. But I don't need more begging letters from anybody.

    yea I know the internet only represents a fraction of the population, maybe they are looking for people's reasons or maybe Toyota doesnt' share their numbers. Of course I didn't want to say anybody who doesn't want to sign up should but if you want to, I was just trying to share.
