Tiswas- fair enough, I'm not going to compare a Prius to a Hummer, I will say that it's a shit car that distracts people from the real problem of energy security.

Totally. And the problem with the Prius doesn't so much lie in each individual car, but in the likely numbers of them that will be produced--rather more than Hummers. As a marketing strategy, greenwash is contagious--compare claims in the 70s that smaller cars would reduce oil dependency and congestion. Result? The two-car household and far more cars.
