<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(IsrAmeriPrius @ Nov 14 2007, 11:18 PM) [snapback]539793[/snapback]</div> "A Hummer H2 might not be the most eco-friendly thing to drive from Los Angeles to Las Vegas and back, consuming more than 96 gallons of gas, but no-one would dispute the fun." The man thinks driving a Hummer H2 is "fun" - what can you say to that. And Here I thought driving our 05 Prius for 6,334 miles on 134 gallons of gas was kind of fun. We took another road trip in Sept/Oct from Minnesota west to Yellowstone and Grand Tetons then south to five National Parks in Utah into Colorado for Mesa Verde and the Durango Silverton RR. On south to Phoenix then east to Texas and back north to MN. We spent $370.74 for gas. Now that's FUN!
he's comparing HIS driving to his SISTER'S driving? Maybe it runs in the family? I doubt it. He's probably a bigger lead foot than his sister. Besides, I wouldn't be caught dead in an Audi A2. You think the Aztec was ugly, try the A2.
Once again there is no metion of emissions. It's a common thread with the Prius bashers- they focus on MPG and ignore the low emissions. And I guess those of us who do get over 50 MPG are liars according to this guy. Please, make him go away......
<div class='quotetop'>QUOTE(cheminee @ Nov 15 2007, 11:24 AM) [snapback]539994[/snapback]</div> As a UK mag, I also wonder if he remembered to make the conversion between US and UK gallons (41.1 MPG[US] is a fair bit better than "almost" 40 MPG[UK]. It also reeks of another apples-to-oranges comparison. I've never seen an Audi A2, but Wikipedia says it's a "supermini", and it sounds pricey.
The stuff about weight's nonsense too. Any added weight from the battery has been saved elsewhere. The Prius slots between the Corolla/Auris and the Avensis in the line-up by size and its weight is pretty much halfway inbetween - exactly what you'd expect.
Maby weight difference isn't due so much to what Toyota put in the prius but on what Audi put in it's A2
