Re: Chevrolet Crapwagon LS

I do more for the environment by driving my Otto cycle car less than 5000 miles a year than if I'd buy a new hybrid, live in the suburbs, and drive it the typical 12-15000 miles a year.


I still believe in liberalism today as much as I ever did, but, oh, there was a happy time when I believed in liberals.

I was sure you'd take exception to that "drives like a Buick" remark. You're not gonna bite?

Re: Chevrolet Crapwagon LS

I've never driven a Prius so I don't know if it drives like a Buick or not. I'd think not, though.

He's probably saying it's ponderous and mushy.

Re: Chevrolet Crapwagon LS

Hmm, I remember test driving a Prius, and I thought the steering was at least adequate. I wouldn't want to have to do high-speed hijinks in one, but for average driving, it seemed crisp enough.

I just couldn't justify the massive premium the hybrid engine was commanding, or the 6-month lead-time just to get on the waiting list.

Re: Chevrolet Crapwagon LS

I'll betchya there's no waiting list for one of these:

Saddest Prius clones ever!

Those pics will take a while to load, but they're worth the wait! That car looks even more pathetic than the three-wheeled Prius clone:
