A while back I said I would get back to you all about why I think that the Toyota Prius is nowhere near the so called green benchmark it is supposed to be. In reality, it's a poorly built, overpriced, not very green piece of marketing fairy dust.
Top Gear has proven in tests that in highway speeds, the Prius is thirstier than a BMW M3.
Fifth Gear has proven in tests that in city traffic speeds, the Prius is barely less thirsty than a Jeep.
In the long run, mainly because the various parts being shipped all over the world, the Prius does more damage to our planet than a Range Rover.
Yet people somehow perceive it as "green".
Time to wake up, people?
