An interesting look at vehicles of the future, from CNN.
Hmmmm. I didn't realise that Toyota was losing money on each Prius sold.
Junkk.com promotes fun, reward-based e-practices, sharing oodles of info in objective, balanced ways. But we do have personal opinions, too! Hence this slightly ‘off of site, top of mind' blog by Junkk Male Peter. Hopefully still more ‘concerned mates’ than 'do this... or else' nannies, with critiques seen as constructive or of a more eyebrow-twitching ‘Oh, really?!' variety. Little that’s green can be viewed only in black and white.

I believe in freedom of speech. But I also don't like bullies on blogs, even verbal ones, as they can drive away those with something valid to say... or offer.
Subjective is fine, but well argued and substantiated is even better. Calm and polite tops. Anything that crosses my personal line will not go up. There may be reasons given, but not guaranteed.
I'm not too keen on 'Anon' as a handle (and the content usually explains why), so if that's what you opt for it may not make it. Sorry.
Me either.
ReplyDeleteI have to say that I start cranking eyebrows at anything 'green' that also loses money.
However, it's Toyota's to lsoe so big up to them for the commitment.
However....
We then get to enviROI. And after the last Top Gear I have to say that getting one to 'look' eco vs. a small diesel to 'be' it is taking an odd path. Mind you, I know a few who give a stuff for any eco-benefits and just want the London congestion charge concession. So much for joined up thinking in government.
The power of that programme is amazing. I just read that sales of the G-Wiz have nosedived, not least because of a safety test that was doen that showed it was, well, not very.
Personally, I can't figure out why all these green cars are such stylistic dogs, save the fun ones such as the Tesla.
Still working on getting LPG in my Volvo.
