I live in the countryside and in reality most farmers don't even need a SUV. But I do worry about people buying hybrids and getting rid of their old cars thinking they are going to lower their carbon foot print. When the manufacturer of a ten year old car constitutes 40% of the emmisions. (or 4 years worth). So if you are buying a hyrid and selling the old car. Your saving the environment is not dependent on the hybrid but that your second hand car will prevent someone buying a new car. (unless you are planning to keep the hybrid for over 10 years) SUV’s annoy me. I live in the countryside and in reality most farmers don’t even need a SUV.

It looks different from other cars. I drive a Honda Civic Hybrid. It looks like other Honda Civics. I would guess this different look for the Prius was not planned, but it's worked great for Toyota. Now we just need to continue the press to remove the unnecessary SUVs from our culture. The Prius does make a statement. It looks different from other cars. I drive a Honda Civic Hybrid.
