However, if you watch fox news or read the WSJ, then you'd probably see that as some sort of immoral act contributing to the destruction of the world by offering handouts to the undeserving. S'pose morality is in the eye of the beholder.

It's all good
I must admit, i dont have the mentality of a priest or a saint but i strongly believe that a person is a good citizen as long as they have an honest job, is good to himself/herself and other people.
Now, on the topic of this car...
Everyone seems to be talking about reducing emissions and saving the environment. 339HP from a V6 with a HYBRID Engine. Okay, lets think about that for a sec, 339 HP, now how many of us are actually going to be using all this power?
Right now I just cant seem to put the two pieces together: people who are concerned about emissions and 339HP 0-60 in 5(-6) sec car
"Reduced" emssions is also relative, toyota claims it's compared to a V8. I wouldnt claim a V6 with 273HP a significant enough engine to reduce emissions. I have never heard anyone with a 273HP toyota camry/avalon brag about their "reduced emissions", as someone said in the earlier thread, what's the difference between this engine and a regular V6 engine.
Again, you cant have a four banger in a car this big. So i must say that People will be buying this for other reasons. Personally, if people are very concerned about reducing emissions, the only engine option is a 4 cylinder with a hybrid motor that's why the HCH and the prius are still Morally correct cars
That doesnt mean i woulnd mind owning one of these
just my 2 cents.
