Delta Flyer,

I DID wonder about this negative article appearing in the NYT. The paper is not all one-sided, though. I can't reference a link at the moment, but I have read very positive hybrid articles in the NYT, and one of their most popular computer tech writers David Pogue is a Prius owner and unabashed supporter and promoter of hybrids in his columns.

It *is* interesting that this article came out around the same time that the taxi fleet is going hybrid. I guess time will tell if an editorial bias develops; in the meantime, perhaps a thread to co-write a letter to the editor with Jason ? It would be kind of cool to sign it " Jason, and the "GreenHybrid forum at large "

R2-E2, 2G Prius.
Highway/City/Husband/Wife MPG: 56.5, as of 12/2005, 26K miles

Jac Nasser, Ford President: "We are planning to launch a hybrid version of
this car [P2000] within this year [1998]. We will also make FCEV available in
2004."
