Yes, the "hummer vs. prius" is provokative, but it's only meant to encourage discussion on what the true environmental impact of any vehicle is. That the point, let's consider the whole impact, not just gas mileage. Intuitively it makes sense to me that an electronically complicated vehicle with 2 engines, a large battery, and various control systems is going to cost WAY more to develop and dispose of than, basically, a big truck with some different sheet metal than all the other trucks. So the question remains, is the Prius more eco-friendly than, say, the Chevy Aveo. I would say no, the Aveo wins. Cost alone practically shows you that. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| ColdFusion MX7 by Adobe® Dyncamically transform webcontent into Adobe PDF with new ColdFusion MX7.
