In suggestion about the focus, some people don’t WANT a small car like the Focus, so what if it gets good milage, good luck fitting stuff into it, no space, none, especially since the advertised one is the TWO door HATCHBACK version. Yes, he should ditch the SUV but there is no reason to buy a Focus, it’d be fine if he got a Mercedes S500, it has better milage, and face it not everyone cares about the milage. For you hybrid lovers, the mileage gotten from a hybrid versus cost of purchase is that the cost OUTWEIGHS the money saved, especially over a short period of time, say 5 years,
and it would take the average driver over a decade for the savings to equal the cost of purchase with current gas prices.

Pete,

The difference is that he just went from mere mortal role model to uber-role model. And, the difference is that when you begin to really KNOW why you can’t or don’t need to WASTE, why would you continue to do it, for vanity’s sake? Because you are rich and because you can? Because you think just the little bit that YOU do doesn’t matter? Because you are ignorant enough to think that each tiny drop in the bucket will never ever make it overflow?

I am terribly sorry to hear that your mother never read you the story about the tortoise and the hare, or that you never understood it. Yes, better IS better. But SUVs were WRONG from the get go. And there’s a difference between consumers trying to change their lives for the sake of healing the world, and consumers trying to change their lives just so they can drive around in a big huge SUV-sized symbol of their own limitations that says “I am Eli Manning. I can pull out one of the biggest upsets of NFL history. But I can’t be bothered to do any better than flashy show-off faux-green when it comes to taking care of the place wear I live.”

Does Eli even drive an SUV? If he does already and is willing to switch to the Hybrid isn’t that better than him driving his old non hybrid version? Or a V12 Uber sedan or sports car that gets 9-15mpg highway?!!?.. If he doesn’t drive an SUV on a regular basis, what makes you think he’ll drive this one much?

Wow – I guess what they say about steroid shrinkage and SUV-compensation is true, eh? All I was talking about is the fact that a big ol’ car on the outside doesn’t necessarily translate to more room for the driver inside. But those big, gas-guzzling Tonka toys might help “BOYS” feel better about their masculinity, huh?

Cranial Midget – ummm – OK – all of you macho NFL players – raise your hands if you think a testosterone laden player should pull up to a stadium in a mini-cooper.
