Toyota Prius The Greenest Award
The Toyota Prius hybrid car has won the 'Greenest Technology' Award at the British Techology Awards. Talk about a mouthful of crap, award, award, award. Ironically this green technology was found right along the likes of the Apple iPhone, BBC iPlayer, and Nintendo Wii.
The vote was taken online and in the UK the Prius gets all kinds of rockstar lavish treatments. For example, a Prius owner gets a break on their parking permits. I'm sure this huge discount on a parking permit offsets the incredibly high price tag of early adoption.

Your spite is showing.
The Prius is one of the most successful cars of all time. It has won the JD Power survey in both of the last two years, a unique achievement:

I am guessing that:
- you don’t own one
- you know nothing about them

-Of course not.
-Yes I do.
My biggest beef has to do with any early adoption of technology and that’s the huge price tag. How much more is the technology in this vehicle than a comparable gasoline only motor….? Now you tell me how much gas that will buy and how long the payoff is. Right now it doesn’t add up and buying it because it’s ‘green’ at this point is a lame excuse because you are throwing money out the window.
But thanks for commenting anyways.
