Bob Lutz: A CAFE level of 42 mpg is "totally ridiculous"

hmmm. So I guess you also do not want me to point out the strawman and false choice fallacies in your post ?

Oops.

 

Bob lutz has said a lot of silly things. It's so harmless though and irrelevant that even Toyota uses his quotes in a show about the Prius V

The AutoIndustrie Blog: Toyota pokes fun at Bob Lutz at Prius v launch

 

On a contrary, I am merely pointing out your false choices:
you don't need internet,
you don't need computer,
you don't need a car,
you don't need a home,
you don't need a job.

Most importantly you don't need a high horse to sit on :welcome:

 

Home and job are generally accepted 'needs.'
Your other items are usually wants.

An high horse is both a straw-man and an ad-hominem.

 

The high horse eats the straw-man and is an ad-equidae.

So are suburban houses, FUVs and long commutes.

Who is conflating now?

And hybrid commuter vehicles holding 7 or 8 people, getting even 30mpg works out to over 200mpg per person.

But on the funny note: Mr bob (hybrids won't work) lutz: ound: Doesn't he and his crew of dinosaurs have a private jet they gotta take some where? And P.S. ... I almost forgot to say thanks. Yes, thanks a lot for the 230mpg Volt. Great job.

Those who say it can't be done should get out of the way of those doing it.

 

CAFE: Bob Lutz is "totally ridiculous"

 

I think Bob Lutz and James Sikes are going to be part of Prius History, whenever it is written. Bob Lutz and all of his quotes, trashing the Prius for maybe a decade and a picture of James Sikes with news video clips about the stunt should also be in there . It is only recently I think that people like Lutz stopped laughing at the Prius!
