CNW Research responds to email
Troy...
I don't know what bug bit you, but certainly not the reading variety.
As you can easily tell from sales statistics (over which we have no control), such hybrids as Prius, Accord, et al are suffering badly because they are expensive and rely on government largess to gain any traction. Toyota has asked for even more government tax credits to boost hybrid sales. And all manufacturers are offering discounts and incentives on hybrid models because the public is becoming increasingly aware of their shortcomings.
Again, if you learn to read and write in complete and sane sentences, Dust to Dust answers all of your questions. You may not like the answers, but it doesn't change the facts. Hybrids, as a means of saving energy for society as a whole, are a bad deal. Period. No reason to argue the fact because it is inarguable. Just ask any engineer. More complexity equals more cost equals more energy demands. What's so tough for you to understand?
Finally, Toyota has been and continues to be a subscriber and client as are virtually all auto makers -- all of whom have hybrids in their fleets and offer them for sale.
Grow up, take remedial reading courses and live a happier life.

PS: Save energy. Don't bother responding. Your emails have been black listed.
now that you have read the response, let me give you some background.
I emailed asking where they generated revenue. They plainly stated that they receive requests to write research papers by companies and are paid to do so. So much for independence. And defiantly no possibility of peer review. So I then questioned their methods of data comparison such as stating a hybrid is only viable for half as many miles as a hummer. The above email is the response. I particularly enjoy that they don't attempt to address the short comings in the research, he simply attacks my grammar and ability to read.
Please if you are irritated by the spread of disinformation slowing the addressing of pollution issues email these people and tell them what you think of the bogus report.

P.S. here is my email that generated the above response
no, I have just been curious as to how an organization can take itself seriously publishing such inaccurate garbage. It seems as though the only explanation is that Ford, GM or Chrysler would have asked for a report to justify the results you achieved by so poorly manipulating poorly collected data.
thanks for the reply
