Car of the Decade!?

[cjhutch]

Toyota Prius and I'm serious.

In the past everyone always knew performance cars and trucks were easy sales. The Prius set the bar for alternative fuel vehicles and is still pretty much the benchmark when people talk about hybrids and fuel economy. Not only that, but the car was made large enough to carry four people easily and it could be used everyday. When is the last time there was a waiting list to buy a car? For all the jokes people make about the car it has really influenced the current market of cars. Without the Prius there would be no hybrid SUV's and hybrid sports cars that actually perform just as good and sometimes better than their strictly gasoline powered counterparts. Not everyone likes a car that goes 0-60 in 3 seconds or care about how much they can tow, but everyone wants better fuel mileage and that's where it made the biggest impact.

Toyota Pruis is the worst car ever. It has a larger carbon foot print than a Hummer H1 before it is even fully assembled. Not to mention when the battery dies 5-10 years it is around $7,000 to fix (probably worth more than the car once the battery has died).

You DO know that the battery has an 8 year/100K miles warranty (10 in California), right?, making your battery issue kind of moot for the first 10 years.....

I would have to say Honda FCX Clarity and the Veyron. The Clarity looks way better than a prius, has zero emissions, and to me it looks like a pretty big step forward in hydrogen fuel cell powered vehicles, even though I really don't care about carbon footprint garbage it is pretty interesting to have a car thats only emission is water. The Veyron is just pure engineering acheivement and there's just nothing out there that can touch it.
