Reply #28: Funny. I haven't seen an Aston-Martin in years. [View All]

I saw a Ferrari a couple of weeks ago. But I haven't seen a Lotus in years either. I guess I don't hang out in the Brentwood/Beverly Hills area much these days where those kind of vehicles are as common as Toyotas are here. Of course, those people don't vote that way we here at DU vote. They vote only for the benefit of their wallets, which means that they've voted for Bush twice.

So why should I be happy about a car manufacturer building a putatively environmentally responsible vehicle built exclusively for the very people who not only don't need it, but were it not for its exclusivity, would not buy it. Parking it next to their stable of Hummers and other high buck vehicles, they're certainly not going to purchase it for its environmental friendliness.

The whole concept is like out of Bizarro-world.
