tell them that to develop a car affects the environment that gas is such a marginal factor; especially when considering the disposition of the battery itself. also most people don't drive their exotics.
and if trend is the sole reason to buy cars, even a hybrid, construction and disposition of a car takes far more energy when you buy a new hybrid every new Prius is out; not to mention a lot of exotics are hand made and not by factories where they require engery source of some sort to power those robots.
I posted something like that on the Lambo board before
the engery to develope and produce the Prisu FAAAAAAAAAR excedes that of the most gas gussler cars could ever polute. Not t mention the batteries are HORRIDLY dangerous and in 10 year will need to be changed and put somewhere....and when that happens the money you saved on gas will be lost again, and all the trees you "saved" will now have toxic batteries to deal with
you want to save the enviroment, buy and Echo, 45mpg or so, only a few less than the Prius at its prime and the Echo is FAR FAR FAR less harsh on the enviroment
