    No mention at all of the upcoming Prius PHEV, Prius v or c. Is Forbes biased against Prius?

    Not specifically but they did mention the Prius brand. Guess people just take it for granted these days.

    The article was published before the reveal of the pri family. So they mentioned the prius and a lot of other cars that I know I didn't know about.

    I don't think an in-depth article about upcoming hybrid/EV/PHEV vehicles should omit anything.

    Priuschatters aside, I think many ordinary Prius owners probably aren't even aware of the v or c, or how/when they will be available, and for how much. That kind of info I was expecting to see in this article.

    Like det97 said... the article was published in November of last year and the new Prius versions were announced in January of this year... the author didn't omit them... they just weren't public knowledge at the time he wrote the article.

    They assumed plug means green. Volt and Leaf emit more CO2 than the current cordless Prius. They won't be as green as Prius until we clean up how we produce electricity. They are still greener than non-hybrids. I am not against using electricity, just saying what it is now.

    PHV Prius' emission level is about the same as the cordless Prius so it will be as green but that article did not mention it.

    Well, actually other than colour, there are NO "green cars". They are -ALL- very hard on the environment! If you want to be "green" try walking!
