Is It A Limo Or An Ice Skate?

(SUB)COMPACT POSING IN THE SNOW? Oh, I mean limousine.

Whew, I'm so glad this little Prius, err -- there I go again -- limousine, will spare us from all the global warming fallout. You see, those actually are ash flakes in the picture, not snowflakes, since the Earth is burning up with carbon. But I'm curious about the overall environmental impact of the Prius.

Maybe the Prius-fans who insist on calling the subcompact (or is it a compact?) a limousine/luxury vehicle, or lumping it in with luxury chauffeured transportation, should connect with these brave people trying to stop all the global warming. By the way, does Avis offer the Prius as part of its chauffeured drive? It would fit well into their "limo fleet" of Aveos and Cobalts  -- M.R.
