Prius a "geekmobile"?

[deezle]

Where does GM find these guys? Do the 'qualifications' for top management positions mention 'tendency towards lunacy'?

Their CEO was recently quoted as saying in a speech that the Toyota Prius is a geekmobile that he wouldn't be caught dead in.

I can certainly understand his apprehension that the new Volt won't measure up when prices, performance and fuel economy are considered ---- but why would a CEO make such outlandish remarks in public? Go figure. more

If he was selling Toyotas, I would be worried. I think that characterization is not charitable, but is fairly widely held among the masses, just like smart is a clown car for nerds and old Mercedes diesels are only bought by people who don't bathe often enough

Yes, unfortunately truth has a way of making itself apparent over time. (sniffs armpits) But it's still fun to take shots at the messenger, especially when they're paid 7 figure salaries to deliver the news to the ignorant masses.

Yep and GM brought us the Hummer and Hummer2 and 3 - for all those that needed a penile prosthetic along with the Corvette LOL Stands to figure the leader of the company is also a supporter of the concept. Cheers,Cameron
