Amazing how you can be so ignorant. There are plenty of people who need an SUV for towing and hauling that a Prius or any other Asian auto can not do.
On top of that, my wife and I used to think like most of my fellow Pacific Northwest Tree hugging, granola munching Greenies. Try getting a call one day that your wife is in the hospital due to a semi not paying attention to road conditions and rear ending your wife car and hurting her back. She now will live for the rest of her life with reduced quality of life due to the lack of protection small auto's have.
Until there is a better fuel source, Screw all hybrids and small cars. My wife drives a Escalade and I drive a customized Suburban, my daughter drives a Durango as does my son. Never again will I put their safety and quality of life above saving oil.
Plus at 6'6" tall, I am tired of not being comfortable. I do not care that my gas bill is over $100 a week to fill my suburban. Yes I realize I spend close to $1000 a month on gas for my family, but comfort and safety is worth more than the cost of gas.
I will just pick all small car owners out of my grill. If you can get that small gutless auto to move then take public transportation and stay off the road.
