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.
