The anti-corporate protesters, you see, arrived in a Ford Econoline, a full-sized passenger
van rated by the EPA at a rip-roaring 13 miles per gallon. This despite one of
the protesters telling CNSNews.com: "We should burn all [SUVs]. They are horrible, they are useless."


Hypocrites all.
The hybrids made by Toyota and Honda are NOT selling even in enviro-conscious Los Angeles.

My definition of environmentalists is someone who wants everyone to use
public transportation, except themselves.

Last I heard they don't want to sell many because they lose $1,500-$2,000 per vehicle...

Not quite true... there are two of them in our parking lot (North Carolina). They're actually not that bad for commuting -- mileage isn't as high as you would expect. My VW Jetta TDI gets better commuting mileage and diesel is cheaper.

Just because the collectivist twits are pushing them doesn't mean they are bad cars.... and I think collectivists mostly drive big SUVs and more expensive foreign cars.
