Prius lovers, Lexus hybrid haters?
That's the question put forth by John McCormick of the DetroitNews.
"Undeniably, the 400h is fast for a hybrid, but this quality raises an intriguing question: how will Prius owners, a notoriously pious bunch, take this 'distortion' of their 'save the planet' technology?"
As Mr. McCormick states, hybrid vehicles are "superior to a conventional automobile in terms of exhaust emissions," so I think the environmental faction of the Prius "pious bunch" will appreciate a hybrid Lexus a whole lot better than a standard Lexus, or some other large SUV.
More important, I don't know where Mr. McCormick receives the analytics to support his over generalized stereotype of Prius owners, but a significant percentage of Prius owners support hybrid technology because of foreign-oil dependency.
Yes, hybrid car technology is but a small step towards ending this dependency, but it is a step. Stereotyping this action into a "pious bunch" of tree huggers is simply ignorant, especially as Americans continue to die serving foreign-oil interests.

Another new Lexus hybrid is about to enter the US auto market on the spring of 2006. A "full-hybrid" vehicle with a V6 front engine, the new GS450h. This is just another addition to our choices for efficient hybrids. More of this interesting hybrid on Toyota Fans' Blog.
Hybrids are good cars, may it be Toyota or Lexus. The bottomline for all these is that we can have reliable cars, lasting cars that will not add to the destruction of our environment.
