I own a Prius and think it's a great car. Toyota, however, has
recently attached itself to a lawsuit through the Alliance of
Automobile Manufacturers to block a law meant to reduce global warming
emissions. Neither Honda nor Nissan have attached themselves to the
lawsuit, so not all car companies are suing. This action does not
reflect the values of a company that markets itself as one that cares
about the environment.
If you're so inclined, you can email to the automakers

or better yet email Toyota directly at
