    Now you cant really see the sign but this area is for compact and low emission cars only. With Texas plates to boot.

    The thing does not even fit!!!!!!!

    And yet, a Hummer is better for the environment than a Prius....

    Over the life, the Hummer has been proven to be more environmentally sound than the Prius due to the mining of the metal for the battery.

    It is out there, I can't get links currently. Mining is not sound for Earth. (and yes, I do drive a Prius)

    It's out there as paid FUD (fear, uncertainty, doubt). It's not a scientifically or financially accurate analysis and if you spread it around you are just trolling whether you intend to or not.

    Here is a serious rebuttal if you'd like to read something more well thought out.

    How do you rate your Honda Fit?
    They now have the EV Honda Fit, $389 down, $389 per month 36 months. I believe 80-100 mile range. Competes with the Leaf.

    The FitEv is not a real car sadly. It is ONLY in CA and they are only making 300 total. (100 in 2012, 100 in 2013 and 100 in 2014)

    If you want to sell cars in CA you have to make EVs.

    Let's not add to the Public's perception of Prius Owners.
