It was, wasn't it? Showed up what a con the Prius really is.

Yep, they did say that. What a laugh that was. The emissions on the
Lexus will be way down on the IC engined cars


The emissions are also calculated in a non real world way. Bit like your
boilers at over 100% efficiency...

to the point that 6 Lexus
will be the equiv to one of the crocks and also the noise of it will be
whisper quiet, while diesel cars should be banned on noise alone.


Why would it be whisper quiet when it has a petrol V6 engine running most
of the time?
