Hey Ford, who's your daddy?


TOKYO — Expect something amazing from the next Toyota Prius — like fuel economy that pushes past the 100-mpg barrier.

Due in two years as a 2009 model, the next Prius is set to be an evolution, company sources say. The hybrid will retain the same basic 1.5-liter hybrid drivetrain. But Toyota is now on a mission to do two things: drive the economy ratings skyward, and cut the associated costs by 20-30 percent.

CO2 is a huge factor in climate change, and the Prius has lower emissions than any car on the road.

Those mpg ratings are exagerated. However, that being said, the Prius is still by far the best and most economical vehicle on the road. They need to build those mothers faster!

That's what they should be building here instead of that big ass guzzler truck. Nice truck but by the time it rolls off the line gas will be 6 bucks a gallon lol.

All yours made in Japan/Europe. Most cars sold in US are produced in the
US.

I think Hybrid cars cause climate change.

I mean there are more on the road now than there are ever been and it is hotter than it has ever been right?

And more hurricanes?

Are you serious? Oh well, here I was thinking that the large number of big ass SUV's and trucks were the ones had something to do with it...
