A company typically has a manager of communication who convinces the board that the employees are to drive 'green' company cars. Mine does.
Governments meddle with taxes to boost 'green' sales. Mine does.
Does not mean that is bad, but it would be nice to have some choice.
Until recently there was not much choice.
People and companys buy hybrids because they want to:
drive cheap (because of low tax) and
look green, not because they are smitten by the Prius' looks.
We need more choice in hybrids. Most of all, we need cool hybrids. Cause they need to replace cool cars that use a lot of fuel.
