Re: NOW IS THE TIME TO BUY AN SUV.......
The whole "Silverado hybrids only get 3 MPG more" argument always cracks me up. FAS wasn't designed to save gasoline; it was designed to provide mobile electricity for power tools and camping equipment. It mostly negates the need to bring a portable generator to a work site or campground.
The author also omits the fact that hybrids aren't the only cars that fail to line up with the EPA ideal (and fails to note that, under ideal conditions, you CAN get the EPA estimate.)
Saying that some reviewer "didn't like the feel of the Prius" is pretty disingenuous. She picked a very subjective "fault". One's man's boring car is another man's ideal ride.
I gave her a "1 star" for my feedback.
But it proves my point about the so-called "art" of journalism: you need a degree to be a doctor, engineer, lawyer, or teacher -- but any fool can call himself a journalist.
