Anyone who tells me they bought a hybrid to save the environment I usually scoff.
I then give them two suggestions for next time.
1.) Buy an old used Metro, crx, vx and use the extra money to buy solar panels and get off the electrical grid.
2.) Buy an old used metro, crx, vx and use the extra money to give to some charity(the dozen people who are arrogant about it like to brag about their charitable giving so it shuts them up two fold ^_^).
The impact of producing any new car will almost never outweight the pollution savings of buying one that gets good or bad mileage but its already here. Second. . .If it gets the same mileage or better as the Prius you aren't really noticeably hurting the environment so they extra 15 grand you spent was for luxury and status not the environment. 15 grand is almost enough to put my house on Solar(with federal tax credits it is) and thats infinitely better value than the Prius by itself. . .
