Green Car=Small Car??? part2

Tuesday, April 21st, 2009

Omg…. Right after I impressed to the safety for Toyota IQ, IHHS issued the crash test report for some compact car…. It just reminded me what my father said again and again when I was little and feel like he is saying…. “see, this is what I meant!!!!”

As a fact, a lot of people bought small cars last summer since gas price was a humongous… but I am still skeptical if they are really thinking of “Green-eco” situation…. I am sorry for comparing with my only situation; the reason why I changed the car was just for fuel efficient only…. Of course “Green” was on my mind as a mother.We have to leave a clean earth to the next generation. But if so, hybrid is enough??? Low emission is not ZERO emission. That means it harm the nature…. As I said, of course lower is much much much better than higher emission, though….

I thought EV must be small and slow….. I was wrong again…..
EV could be large and fast!!!! This could be the ultimate Green Car. ZERO emission. Hopefully, the price would be dropped one day!!

I have to take back “larger car is safer”….. I have to admit I was wrong…Toyota IQ earned 5 stars in Euro NCAP Safety Testing. Wow… Bravo!!!!!!!!!!!

And now it revealed at NY Motor Show from Scion. His face is like a naughty smiley face. Isn’t he cute or what?

Also, Toyota released new safety system! Awesome, Toyota!
I think the similar system is already adapted to Lexus….
