Toyota going "green" with hybrids? What CRAP.

The car companies have had FULLY FUNCTIONAL ELECTRIC VEHICLES for some time now.

The HIGHLY successful (in operation) Electric Version of the Toyota RAV4 is being pulled off lease and the units CRUSHED to make a new market for their new Hybrids. PIGS.

The GM EV-1? EXTINCT
We actually built production parts for that one. They hauled them in, and crushed them.

The TH!NK from Ford? Rescued by the Norwegians.
They were crushing them to extinction, but the Norwegians occupied their Norway headquarters to make them give them back.

The HONDA Electric Accord? EXTINCT.
Hauled them back off lease, Crushed 'em.

AND the Toyota Electic RAV4? ENDANGERED.
THEY WON'T EVEN LET THE CURRENT LEASEES BUY THE DAMNED THINGS. They want them back to crush them.

Why would a car company WITHDRAW a FUNCTIONAL ELECTRIC VEHICLE to tout their "NEW, IMPROVED HYBRID"?? Money and Marketing.

Yeah. Toyota is greening up with hybrids. What BULLSHIT. Kool-aid packaged in the guise of a car.
