Yes, I have noticed there is nothing on the radio with listening to, any more than there is something on TV worth watching. I got rid of the TV, and rarely turn on the radio in teh truck now for more than traffic updates. Guess I should get GPS for the sole reason that I won't need a radio at all.

Country music began the downhill decline in the early 90s, and it accelerated the decline in the last 5-10 years.

I still listen to music FG, the old stuff, country, blues or rock n roll,, 50 -70s,, just donate a few hundred dollars to your local PBS,, and they will send you more old music than you can listen to in two lifetimes.. The first time I danced to it the second time around I am just listen, well and tapping my foot.:laughing:. Lou

Is listening to the radio in a Prius considered green? Have they calculated the mileage with and without the radio? If I have a taillight out and don't replace it, am I more green than if I had all working lights? The mind just boggles with possibilities. . .

Don't underestimate the acceleration of the Prius. The electric motor has high torque and it kicks in when you put the pedal to the metal and has no problems passing on a hill or on the freeway. The inside room of the Prius is the same as the Camry. It just looks smaller, so it can fit 5 no prob. It is classified as a mid-size sedan, not a compact car (except for the Prius C).

By the way, there's a POWER button in the new Prius that significantly boosts acceleration, with a corresponding decrease in fuel efficiency.

I like the Toyota Prius. Don't think we need more than one in the immediate family though.
At least not until Toyota comes out with a quarter ton pickup version. ;-)

I saw a report on Yahoo! this morning that said automakers have discovered a technology that rivals the mileage and performance of hybrids in small cars and pickup trucks. Guess what this new technology is? Diesel, of course. I'd be willing to bet that 99% of the TBN members know this and would have said so if asked, but Yahoo! acted like it was some big news flash.:laughing:

High pressure diesels has been out performing hybrids for almost 15 years now.

You see even the development costs of these vehicles is subsidized.

Why the obsession? I wish that's all I had to worry about.
