    I'll take the Prius. This is because if I was to buy a new car, I'll have to take into consideration the prices of gas.

    If I was rich enough then I'll take the Enzo.

    Yes, it's better than some, but it's not as good as some would make out.
    Especially if the energy and pollutions to make the battery cells is taken into account !!!

    There's a lare list already been posted of cars that make better consumption and pollution than the Prius and we've not even touched on the Peugeot and Renault cars out on fleet test in France

    and make for lower emissions with a decent scrubber.

    BUT, with the US being their focus market for the technology then it woudl not sell. The US are way behind Europe in adoptng performance diesels in cars

    Erm.

    Prius vs Echo
    not
    Prius vi Enzo

    The Echo looks like an old Prius. Did they just rename it?
    Thanks for all the fish

    best thing we've got here in canada aside from some golf diesals and civic hybrids

    thats true about the battery cells i didn't think about that but u have to admit its a step in the right direction, we're still quite a bit from hydrogen power so this is the next best thing
