Sorry about the threadjack...I do not own one...
Is there not a lot of controversy about the hybrid being green, I heard the nickel for the non recyclable battery's is mined in the usa then flew to japan to be processed then flew back . Also the are not the most fuel efficient car on the road, surely a vw polo blue motion diesel is better at 70 mpg.
