Huh?
[Read the article: Who needs a Prius anyway?]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Clarren claims there are many cars less polluting (in their manufacture as well as their use) than the Prius, and yet a quick trip to the greenercars.org Web site she references reveals that the Prius and the hybrid Civic top their list of "greenest" cars. Not only does she fail in her article to back up her claim that the Prius is more polluting than other cars, but the expert ratings she herself reference flatly conradict her.
I don't understand why Salon published this article in the first place. Clarren doesn't deliver on her provocative title. And worse, she plants the seed in people's heads that there's something irrational or obnoxious about championing the Prius--a product that is a huge step in the right direction for automakers. Boo.
