Got a Prius? Why do you hate the planet?

http://www.whatcar.com/news-article.aspx?NA=228254

If you thought buying a Prius would be the best thing you could do to save the environment, think again. There are fully 11 cars better for the environment than the pompous assmobile bearing the name "Prius".
Greenest cars
1 Smart Roadster
2 Smart Fortwo cabriolet
3 Citroen C1 1.0i
4 Peugeot 107 1.0
5 Citroen C1 1.4 HDi
6 Fiat Panda 1.2
7 Ford Ka 1.3
8 Toyota Yaris 1.0
9 Fiat Panda 100hp
10 Peugeot 206 1.4
11 Mini Cooper D
12 Toyota Prius 1.5

Now scratch those vehicles that are unavailable in the U.S. and reprint the list. BTW, the smart entries don't refer to U.S. versions either...

Un-available why? Is there some sort of import restriction or something?

There are no Fiat, Peugeot, or Citroen dealers in the U.S., the Ford Ka and Mini Cooper D are not sold here, and the smarts are also not U.S. versions. So, for U.S. versions, the Prius will be either land in first or second.

You'll have to forgive Ron, he's an isolationist.

Here is a generalized rant: Prius owners are ASSHOLES. They think stop signs do not exist. They are smug and conceited, and if another one runs the stop sign by my house I am going to ram it with my jeep.

PS You look like a monkey fucking a football in most of those cars.

Why all the hatred towards Prius owners? Why does it bother you so much?
