Re: Cool phone signature / Hummer/Prius Slogan
quote me on this.
the prius is poised for a big-time publicity backlash. gas prices are low, panic is not high, the car isn't really very good (a cool friend of mine has a prius and an H2, lol), the technology works (hybrid) but comes with the next-big-thing among enviros - battery panic, and its all jap. The sales brochure reads like somethign you'd tell a hypnotized person to brainwash them. and with the backlash against the prius may come general relief from the over-positive reviews given to basically anything toytota. the FJ, the taco, the tundra, the corolla (which sucks, even at its price point) will all perhaps soon face fair and reasonable judgement rather than the rose-colored-glasses reviews they have benefited from to date. the prius went too far. hollywood being all, well, hollywood. trendy and fearful for not doing the "good" thing, and fearful for not being "in", and overly defensive of the vehicle rather than proactively enthusiastic... A simple car with a battery brainwashed - remarkably - a segment of society. It can't last forever. If the prius comes under scrutiny its followers will fade, its resale value will crash, and blah blah |

Guys,
Remember there still is the rest of the world. While we Americans are fortunate enough to have relatively inexpensive gasoline, please don't forget about the other things such as the price of gas in other countries and our global war on terrorism. Here in Europe, they are paying $7-9 a gallon on the economy. Seeing America at war in Iraq and driving big cars with cheap gas gives these folks the belief we are at war for the oil. We are not! However, it is a perception. We do need to get ourselves away from petrol resources, so we don't have to place money into the "wrong hands". If I had the choice of a Hybrid H3 or Hybrid H2 with no major differences and it cost me a few bucks more--there is no way I would be choosing gas. I think you'd all agree if the US companies make the hybrids, etc.--we'd buy it. With gas prices low and not seeing your friends leave for Iraq everyday, you sometimes forget about it. Please all I ask is that you think about the possibilty of getting us away from using this major resource of the Middle East. |
