[Bodogjoe]

I can see the logic behind hybrids to save gas - But do these stupid hippies really think it makes a diff if you drive a hybrid? lol. Southpark portrayed it perfectly, people get all smug when they drive one. Thayyyynks!!

[Darknight91DRE]

@Bodogjoe LOL I just watched that episode. I've always hated hybrids, people are being conned into thinking that it's eco-friendly. Worse, many are dumb enough to be smug about it.

my dad got a hybrid "cause it saves gas and money"

[sudhakarad]

thanks man .

[slyhammer123]

the electric car is less clean than a Hummer

a hummer has like all metal which is produced in one country (less exhaust from all those trucks).

because the electric car has battery which is produced with acid and the transport is very long, because it comes from Japan is the less exhaust from all those trucks more. And all those technical parts of an hybridis there only more acid, and what to think about the battery`s of a electric car if theyre dead, its all about making profit.

[YamiPoyo]

@slyhammer123 What? if it came from japan then even more exhaust or waste is used to ship it to your country, if a car was made in your country it cost less exhaust to make it and get it to you.

[370ownz]

((noob))So you don't need to plug it in to get the battery to get it charged because it charges by itself when you break right?

[Ryan0556]

You may be in denial and not believe this but hybrid cars are worse for the enviorment than normal cars. mostly do to their giant toxic batteries. Their onlly benefit is that you save money on fuel.

Muslim lender forces Christian to sell kidney

5 'armed men' accompany debtor to hospital

A Pakistani Christian who borrowed money from his Muslim employer at 400 percent interest to send his daughter to college has been forced by the lender to sell a kidney to repay a portion of the debt John Gill, a machine operator at Shah Plastics in the Youhanabad area of Lahore, Pakistan, was taken to Ganga Ram hospital by "five armed men" and forced to sell a kidney against his will.

Pakistani Authorities Allegedly Torture Christian Girl, Family

Local authorities on April 26 recovered a 14-year-old Christian girl from Pakistan Air Force (PAF) police who allegedly tortured her and her family for five days here as Christian "soft targets" over false theft allegations, sources said.

Islamabad police in predominantly Sunni Muslim Pakistan removed Sumera Pervaiz from a PAF hospital, where she was recovering from injuries that a doctor said could cripple her for life.

[metallicakrumpholz]

the hybrid uses the IC (internal combustion) engine as a generator to charge the battery that powers the electric motor. Because the IC engine charges the battery you never have to plug in the car and this helps cut Co2 from getting into the air because it doesnt have to rely on a power plant to make its energy to power the car like a fully electric car. Every day over 300 million cars are driven around the world and less than 20% of them are hybrid cars.

[mrhamgun]

a hybrid car was built electronically controlled vehicle(microchips/control unit) it means a single break in circuitry the control unit collapse.

[SMGJohn]

Gasoline and diesel cars are waste

[dortmundpls]

I bought one, and it's a good car. I'm not a green freak either. It's just great saving money on gas. We need more fuel efficient cars like the Prius, but made here.

[Omega3chimp]

@judaschrist666 what about military hybirds?shooting you in the face lesbain?

Toyota Prius' are getting recalled due to a malfunction of the onboard computer.

[th3dig1tal0n3]

No, they are recalled because of several problems including brakes.

easy, dont buy one. unless you like it in the pooper

[victoriatodd]

Oh so you'll judge a person by the car they drive now?

Wow crazy

[Neeroke]

Damn thats pretty cool and resource full. I thought when it said Hybrid or Electic i thought it was using water cause of the hydrogen gas. it really means Electricity =P. Any mechanics here want to try and test my design? Message me!

[GumpVader]

Everyone is driving a Manual transmission control car The clutch in the floor of manual cars is the same as in the Automatic The real Automatic is in the Hybrid that switches and controls going from Steam to electric to horn The Fuel you pour into your car should be Pure Water so it does not clog from minerals Try disconnecting the fuse that controls starting when you turn the key.Steam is D Skip D and start at the next or last. reverse Road runner does not beep But when you over

drive.Beep Beep

[Blogengezer]

WITHOUT taxpayer supported subsidies confusing the issue, will the Prius last over 20 years 'cost effictively? Many conventional vehicles do this. Most people forget to figure in the actual total cost to the environment to build a vehicle, any vehicle. The replacement of that particular vehicle, is a conveniently hidden factor. Mining and energy are paramount to any manufacturing process. By doing only one aspect in any one area, total environmental impact is only shifted to another. DaFlikkers

yeah because hydrogen is super cheap, right??

[dieselboy77]

Mining of nickel can be environmentally destructive. Toyota buys nickel for Prius batteries from a mine in Sudbury, Ontario, Canada. The mine has created such a dead zone around it, that NASA now uses the area to test lunar rovers.

The acid rain around Sudbury has destroyed all the plants and the soil slid off the hillside, David Martin, a Canadian Greenpeace coordinator, told the British newspaper Mail.

also hybrids killing our forrests

[freespeachrulez]

Do you live in Sudbury, my future wife's parents do, and you are wrong about that. Sudbury is beautiful. In fact any damage occurred more than thirty years ago, long before the Prius was even made. Since then, Inco (the company who makes the batteries) has reduced sulphur dioxide emissions by more than 90 per cent and has helped to plant more than 11 million trees. It is one of the greenest plants in Ontario. Get your figures straight before you buy into what the oil co. push out in media.

[emforty2]

Drilling for oil is so environmentally destructive that you can't build a house on top of an old oil rig. you have to ship the oil from the middle east to north america to be processed and then shipped again to gas stations. then all of the major cities of the world have bad air pollution causing acid raids killing our forrests

[freespeachrulez]

For one, who would want to build a house on top of a oil rig? So that is a straw-man argument. Second before the deal overseas was made and the investors sunk their teeth into our pocketbooks we made oil and coal just fine. Third, America needs jobs and has plenty of land available to give way to oil production. Forth, the reason why this won't happen is because too many Americans like you are dooped into buying everything overseas. America is owned by foreigners and world banks.

[fgsfdsfgsfds1]

Nice 2 upload a video, tho it doesnt explain how a hybrid car work technically.

[everEbody]

If you really want to get great gas mileage you should go to: thegas4free.blogspot,com

[snake322]

priuses are nuthing but filth and a abomination to the motoring world it pollutes more than my damn m3 4.0 v8.

building a prius harms the planet more than me driving my beemer from cali to new jersey. plus my beemer gets better gas milage in the curvy mountains...

[bearnurse1]

This is the hybrid I've seen so far that interests me at all. All the others are plug hybrids which are not practical for people who don't have a garage to put the car in while you charge it overnight. The Prius has a built in battery recharging mechanism.

[emforty2]

Japan has a 12 year advantage on hybrids while GMs still a science project if it even ever happens in 2 years.

[AutoMotoUSA]

You're a fool. US Auto Industry had first real hybrids, first fully battery powered cars which drove (500 Chevy's were on the road for more then a year) and they have the goods in their safe for now. I am willing to bet US will take Toyota and Honda on, and smoke them in the next few years on Hybrids. In US cars are purpose-built, unlike the worthless Prius which is USELESS for anything but driving to your FOO-FOO office job, and back.

so you just put pactrol to the car?

[Webwizgal19]

i have 6 prei (priuses)

[walls777]

well good for fucken you. Rich ass fool.

[180RFSA]

Yep, I am a pro writer. Upside your mum!

[f1nuts]

Right! Say did you know Toyota is developing a 400bhp Hybrid sports car?

Are any British car company's developing anything new? Oh wait... you've sold all your car company's to the Chinese and India! Ha Ha Ha! How does it feel to be tied to there purse strings?

[nwraltfuels]

thats great but we have a way of being 100% carbon neutral right now!

[180RFSA]

Common misconception in this vid - hybrid cars actually run off a potent mixture of semen and nonce-sweat, which is mixed with air in the combustion chamber by a pointless sandal wearing hippy fuckwad. The end result of this worthless effort is a mejestic 3BHP in what is essentially a mechanical slug on wheels. It is less Green than a well-driven small petrol hatch, costs far more to manufacture in terms of materials and uses hideously dangerous batteries that cause AIDs in rabbits. I LOVE IT!

[f1nuts]

I'm surprised to hear a comment like this coming from a Brit! Next year Formula One is allowing teams to run Hybrid systems. Test mules are reported to be running over 900bhp!

This tech always trickles down to us. I guess I held average Brit intelligence too high. Although... isn't Britain where 7 F1 teams are based?

[180RFSA]

Right, so it's only a matter of time before we see the 900bhp Prius, is that what you're saying. F1 is shit. Hybrids are dull and slow and not even green, so what exactly is their fucking point?

Stop felching your mum and watch real motorsport instead you giant fag.

[f1nuts]

Why would Toyota build a 900bhp prius?

You seem very confused. You see, the whole point of building a hybrid power plant at the pinnacle of motor sport is to accelerate R and D. That's why BMW, Ferrari, Honda, Mercedes, Toyota and Renault are all pouring money into there research. But I guess by swearing and throwing out insults you've just proven that you are smarter than all of them combined!

BTW, you write beautifully, are you a professional writer? lol!!

[capacityplus]

The point is the early days of new tech. Just like the first liners could not be trans atlantic no matter how big they were untill later developments like triple expansion engines. It will get better.

[popra007]

super :)

[panasonic1232]

admiral the sales say what is toyota ... not you it is the most sold car in all over the world bec it is simple effective and economic

[BRIANxdrift]

MODERN COMFORT ECONOMY ! :D I LIKE THIS CAR - orginal car :) very very thanks to toyota ;)

[Monthagny]

I was given one of these to use as a company car........I wanted a Golf GTI. All my work colleagues got Golf GTI's. They laugh at me whenever I enter the parking lot.

[admiraljimmy]

The Prius is one of the most ugly cars in the world, I'd take a gas guzzling AMERICAN V8 over this gas saving retard mobile any day.

[bill2893]

boooooooooooooo

prius is the best

[admiraljimmy]

Of course it is, If you've never driven a real car..

[bill2893]

well i haven't

i'm only 15 :P

so maybe i'm not one to say

but i'm sure they're not too bad

[bill2893]

well i haven't

i'm fifteen

but if i could drive, i'd have a prius any day

[admiraljimmy]

of course you would, you're a pussy, and pussies love slow cars.

[180RFSA]

You utter loser.

Enjoy dying a virgin.

[f1nuts]

Oh my! Such language! When I read this I felt faint! I had to lay down to compose myself! Your certainly more than a match for me! The Impoverished British School system has impressed me yet again.

[mercman8888]

Crazycutz, you are fucked up!

[guatay]

Tesla Roadster is nice, but you need to be a gazillionaire to afford one. I know, like the vcr the price will one day decrease, but probably not until new technological discoveries impove on the existing engineering. How bout a better battery charging system that eliminates the hasle of pluggin-in and also the presence of an internal combustion engine a la hybrid? Anyway, a lot of gas can be bought for the same price of the car. Cmon American auto industry, it's time to lead the way!

[LatteLiberal]

Hybrids have killed people in accidents, the batteries explode and they don't save gas! Hybrids dont work because they are environmental. They need lots of repairs too. Better to wait for hydrogen and not doing anything until then. Hydrogen is made out of normal, regular fossil fuels so oil companies won't go bankrupt and hurt the economy and lose people's jobs. But if we buy hybrids, oil companies will lay everybody off and ipods will be too expensive. Think about JOBS not saving gas.

[fkasda]

hydrogen explosdes more then gas PLUS your frendly oil company are riseing prices and money is goin to different contrys not our country that the econemy is falling!

[Mik5469]

looks like a possum fucked a toaster!

[crazycutz]

u people are **** morons.. ups sorry - american morons.

if you need to find a cool looking hybrid or electrical car that is fast and cool looking. search: tesla roadster

[infamousny2121]

y doesnt america get CNG(Compressed Natural Gas) cars..itz way cheaper and it runs on Gas(Air type, not gas like liquid)

[JiMeX89]

we have to save the world

[dumapies]

this car is shit

[imani628]

Thats what she said.

:)

[supremash]

I want to buy a hybrid and get a bumper sticker that says " my hybrid ha$ nothing to do with the environment"

[joekickass89]

The only problem that I have with hybrid cars is low preformance ratings and that they have really gay looking designs. They should make hybrids have car design from the 1970's because those cars look way better.

[infamousny2121]

that is true thats y i dnt want one..they suck.

[Mik5469]

really i know do they realize how homosexual they look and perform o 2 60 in 12 secs! there also not good on storge capacty! and they just look gay!

[Riggro]

CVT????? BULLSHIT!! research TRUE CVTs!!! damn, all that tech jargon.... fuck.....

[cruiseman3211]

I <3 prius

[DauntlessEagle1]

i this all this global warming bolloks is just natural.

[Sethjxl]

you are very right. But just saying its natural is avoiding the issue. The fact is we face some serious environmental issues and whether we or nature started it is irrelevant. We have to do something to stop it or at least slow down. Dont be ignorant.

The prius is a good start, it is unfortunate that it was produced as a concept car as these vehicles tend to look unattractively futuristic. And I for one believe Toyota does not have much luck when it comes to aesthetics (excpt the MR2 :P)

[lemakk72]

i don't think it really matters whether hybrid cars are aesthetically beautiful or horrific these days.i see people these days dying to get rid of their fuel guzzling cars, cars that have v8engines, suvs.etc.its a ludicrous situation now,ive said it from the beginning,if people don't care about the environment then you must get a more fuel efficient car to make an easier load off your wallet.people are so stupid,instead of looking for the cheapest gas station get a more fuel efficient car.

[TheTwilightGuy]

Good for you! :D

[Musclekid328]

id rather stick with classic cars who the hell dosnt want power to their vehicle??...but when gasoline runs out in 2025 (estimated) then engines from the 1950's will be useless...THIS WORLD COMMING TO AN END!!!!!

[CraigHPro]

FACT: People who have hybrids, really want others to know that its a hybrid.

[lemakk72]

no craig, are you that ignorant? look at gas prices these days.i think people get hybrids to save money and to help out the environment. one last comment i love hybrid cars such as the prius;i will be the first person to get it w/tinted windows. hybrids are a great start for the future, but there are other hybrids that could be and are more fuel efficient.the current oil crisis should be a wake up call to all of us to conserve more and utilize our resources more efficiently.

[CraigHPro]

I guess its up to us to show everyone the way!

[CraigHPro]

Can you believe that people still don't drive hybrids?

At least we're smart enough to know better!

[CraigHPro]

Good for you!

Thanks!

*smells own fart*

[keno0bi]

lol southpark :D

[Brongbad]

too bad hybrids are useless, in that a smart car is more efficient, as are many european diesel engines.

[Eltekov]

I have a question how does Hybrid Cars behave in the cold environment (i.e. say Russia, winter upto -30°C)? Cold-engine start?

[nindugu]

I laugh at the pumps, looking at these 100lb females filling up these 4000lb SUV's. Why on earth do you need all that vehicle? I can see if you are a contractor or something, but just to take Scotty to his game? Come on people.

[elky78]

Want a lesson in world destruction as well....this year and last year were two of the coldest winters ever, with this year breaking all records with the coldest winter ever recorded. The ice sheets in Greenland have grown in thickness by more that 24". Now, a lot of the scientist are saying.....are you ready......Global Cooling.....LOL!

[elky78]

Okay, reality check....the current hybrid car consumes more energy from the batteries than an SUV does in consuming gas, want the pollution side as well, disposal of the hybrid batteries causes more pollution than the entire life of an SUV.

[ceriman]

You are repeating disinformation from a really bad "report" from a marketing firm promoting Hummers. Moreover, you've got it garbled!

Batteries store energy, they are not 'consumed", and if they stop working they are recycled, not disposed. The energy used to drive a big SUV is greater than the energy to drive AND make a Prius!

[jjj290]

They are sent to a recycling facility, where they are grinded down and the heavy metal separated from the plastics and are recycled to make new batteries, and the plastic is recylced to make other plastic goods. No harm, to anything.

[MartinUK88]

Perhaps u yanks should wake up and stop killing this planet. Your waste of the world's resources is affecting everyone.

[KB1KOI]

you may also want to direct your argument at the chinasee who are abandoning pedal bikes for saloon cars, as well as causing the world food prices to go up

[morphex9903]

I think hybrid cars are a scam, cos you use the petrol engine to recharge the battery, and the battery to power the car.

all this sound amasing, but you cant just get free energy to the battery can you? you have to run the petrol engine to recarge it.... so I just cant see the point. its stupit.

if you want to bee a green hippie walk or somthing

[KB1KOI]

You make sense, although what about PHEV? If you can offset some of the pollution (either at a coal fired power station or car emissions), by creating your own power you are doing your part.

It doesn't make sense why majority of the people in America prefer gas guzzling high HP, high drag coefficient vech.

For short distances, I say ride a pedal bike

[Floor500]

One things for sure, the Camaro certainly attracted the kind of customer it was designed for.

i always floor my 5.7L v8 chevy camaro z28! I HATE THOSE BLEEEDIN' LIBERAL TREE HUGGER HIPPIES! i also own a 6.0 2003 chevy ss! i can afford it! hybrid are not environmental friendly! If any of us care about the

[neoartifact]

"hybrid are not environmental friendly!" Neither are your cars. I don't think they are environmentally friendly either. But I don't think that emission control is the prius' strong point. It's bringing back the electric car that is it's strong point. At least the hybrid is semi-electric and you can convert it to full electric. It's the beginning of electric cars. A Family electric car would KILL your Camaro down the strip. Lookup "white zombie electric".

[Celticnutty]

Shut the fuck up and care for the envirment.

You people and your big SUV's don't give a shit about the envirment and makes me sick.

[CascaMMA]

[DissentDispute]

Consier watching WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR? it's a very interesting look at the struggle for change and innovation...

[LatteLiberal]

No I wont watch liberal spin job "who killed the electric car" because that is a movie funded by the liberal agenda to push alternatives to oil, alternatives to HETEROSEXUALITY, alternatives for the Bible, alternatives to everything that made this a great CHRISTIAN nation. No thanks. Ill keep my gas guzzler and soldiers can keep their jobs.

[DissentDispute]

you're obviously a very sarcastic person...and the film, WHO KILLED THE ELECTRIC CAR? was simply another side to the story...it showed how so much pressure can end an important movement, but I agree that it favored one side over the other...it to be fair it also holds many parties accountable, including the consumer...as for you're other comments...I don't label myself into a corner...I've read the bible and I drive a gas guzzler...Are we related?

[bflatkitty]

Latte is worried about turning gay and putting soldiers out of work by watching a documentary on electric cars? I like the move by Honda to electric/hybrid electric. I think the Pope has one on order with optional gay protection for the first five years.

[DissentDispute]

I think Charlton Heston (couldn't think of anyone funny) has created a spectacular spectacularly flamerboyantly Anit-Gay Cologne for Men and Mexicans (preferrably poor), which comes in the form of a penis-shaped pistol...speaking of Penis...my vagina hurts...thats a sign that another forest was cut down to plant wheat for ethanol!

[jjj290]

I am sure the soldiers would rather be here doing other jobs instead of being out there getting killed, wouldnt you. Also I dont believe the bible promotes war.

[blondemax]

A prius can get 50MPG realisticly

and a small Diesel car can get about 70MPG

Go black to go green

[jughed1]

go green indead

find the movie 'who killed the electric car' , check the local library.

all about the auto industry not wanting to make an electric car. very sad...

go diesel and convert to cooking oil and never buy fuel from gas companies again

[upcosathish]

good car

[LatteLiberal]

The liberal agenda is selling lots of hot air hybrids. They have been found in recent studies to actually use MORE gasoline than conventional cars. Liberals own all the hybrid, solar power, eco crap industries and they are LOOTING Americans pocketbooks with their lies! Oil companies however stand for family values, they create jobs, donate to charity and keep soldiers employed. THAT is REAL value. Vote NO to energy efficiency laws. Vote YES to AMERICA.

[brendo80]

wow, thats the most shallow comment I've ever heard,

don't ever try to test your I.Q. and try to avoid crossword puzzles as your brain might explode!

Hybrids are bull**** most just havent seen it yet...

[100MPG]

Stupidly expensive and heavy make it only good on gas/emissions around town at below 40 mph. Better off with new tech diesel like Mercedes, Honda, BMW, Audi, VW if you actually want to take to the highway.
