Prius fatality rate is half of national average–

[quote=flu]for some reason, all this talk about prius reminded me of this video… kinda funny…

Oh man. Thanks for bringing back some good memories with that one.

Get on your bikes and ride!

I did a 25 mile commute on a scooter for a while.

BMW is releasing a 3 Series Hybrid this fall (maybe this was covered).

Of course it’s a work of art.

BMW 3 Series – the Legend Lives On.

Often imitated – NEVER duplicated. The original, authentic one and only BMW 3 Series.

This one probably has a low fatality rate, too:
“You know those days that are just so bad you wish you hadn’t even bothered to get out of bed? Well, the folks at Fisker Automotive had one of those recently when their sexy, expensive, award-winning, new sports car died in the parking lot of Consumer Reports before any quality tests could be conducted on it.”

Talking about hybrid and electric car, this is what it would take to put me into a battery operated car: http://www.autoblog.com/2012/03/06/infiniti-emerg-e-concept-geneva-2012/

Anyone who expected a brand new design from a brand new car company to be bug free should pass me a lil of whatever they were smokin.

I agree, I love fiskar too, I’m pulling for them. I also love that poster, I mean i really love it. It represents two things this country needs. sexy and fast eco friendly cars and thigh highs/garter belts to make a comeback for daily office wear. I don’t think it’s too much to ask. Not even an artists rendition would show that woman leaning into a prius, and that’s on of the problems.

This ad (albeit a parody from a movie)was the primary reason I started my recent car purchase looking at convertible jags

Are you talking about the chick in the picture or the car itself?
Infiniti fanboy…

PS…I doubt infiniti is going to make this production..

I would say I’m more of a fast car fanboy. These other cars would be just fine for me too:

Cars involve sitting which is not sexy.

Bikes involve mounting and riding which is sexy.

The crappiest bike is sexier than the slickest auto.

lol! that’s great!

I’d love to have a newer XK, but we’ve got too many coupes as it is – I’d have to let one go to get an XK and I can’t stand the thought of that right now.

We are looking at adding an XF to the stable though. The 2012s with the face and butt lift are sharp…probably get a base model or a Portfolio…

Don’t you guys thing that there’s something wrong with our culture where we so identify with what we drive?

Would you date someone who drives a beater?
Do you think that you would get a desirable date if if you drove a beater?

[scaredyclassic]

Yes
yes
