Prius

A hybrid (gasoline + electric engines) car made by Toyota that is great on gas but worse for the environment than a Range Rover Sport Supercharged.

Battery material is mined in Canada, cargo shipped around the world to China, where it is combined with economy-strength steel (to be lightweight of course) and God knows how many different kinds of plastics, then final assembly is in Japan. Car gets cargo shipped back around the world to America and even further to Europe.

Range Rover Sport Supercharged?

Made in some little factory with a decades-old good-ol' boy derived V8 and strapped with a blower. Put on a tried and true Range Rover chassis and tweaked to be street-worthy. Shipped primarily to America.

Joe the Liberal: I just got a Toyota Prius! I'm doing my part to save the environment!

Level-Headed Lenny: I drive a Chevy Colorado and don't do nearly as much damage as you do with that high voltage, tree hugging econobox.
