Re: [MBZ] Testing Prius and changing subjects
Right on. A car is a machine that may or may not be suited for a particular use. It's foolish to mistake a car choice for a social or political statement unless you know the car was chosen to make a statement.

Re: [MBZ] Testing Prius and changing subjects
*Ahem* Generalizations aren't always correct. (I drive an electric car; as previously discussed, it is perfect for the needs I lease it for... I'm definitely not a fruit, although I suppose whether or not I am a nut might be a matter for debate...) Btw, it costs me about $4 per hundred miles in energy costs; the average consumption in the first 720 miles, including my learning how to optimize my driving, and some driving by those who haven't figured out the magic of regenerative braking, is 3.5 mi/kWh. I am regularly getting 3.9-4.3 mi/kWh these days. The estimated range is 80-85mi (EPA is 63). I can't complain about it at all, especially being able to park and squeeze through "impossible" spots! I'll still take one of the W210.025's for any long trip or where there is need for more than 2 seats.
