To quote "with all those beliefs out there, you have to do a hybrid for public policy reasons."
hehe .. bless. honesty at last.. |
"
Honesty" when he makes this claim?
"
Toyota has said, economically, hybrids make no sense. The reduction in fuel [consumption] does not pay for the technological content and cost of the vehicle so therefore economically it remains fairly nonsensical, so that’s the left-brain analytical argument." -
Lutz
So where is this Toyota claim that Lutz asserts?
Actually, it doesn't matter. If Lutz is right, Toyota will cease to make hybrid electrics or go out of buisness. Like answering the global warming skeptics, I prefer to let the sea level do my talking.
