Green...

... plays an important part in our world today. Everyone is trying to go greener to save the world from being more polluted by human activities.

One of the efforts done by car manufacturers is creating hybrid cars. Hybrid car uses petrol and electric motor at the same time, therefore more fuel efficient and cleaner to the environment.
In Malaysia, Honda Civic launched last year if i'm not mistaken but its price was staggering high because of the high tax imposed by our government. Thankfully, government had reduced the tax and made Civic Hybrid affordable to the public.

Here comes the highly anticipated Toyota Prius! Lauching here was the 3rd generation Prius which features better mileage and sleeker design compared to its predecessor.

The one we are getting looks like the Prius above, excluding the solar roof panel


From back: Oldest generation of Prius to the newest one

Cool blue light illuminated logo!

No GPS navi or colour screen on the interior but there is a heads-up display function. Other equipment includes 7 airbags, ABS, EBD, traction control, stability control (VSC), Hill-Start Assist, brake assist, keyless entry and start, and an 8-speaker audio system.

Sad to say that it is priced at a staggering RM175,000 albeit all its benefits and noble invention.
Some would prefer to buy a Camry 2.4V at that level of pricing which has bigger interior, more powerful engine and luxury stance. With current rebate, a Hybrid Camry is almost impossible to be sold in Malaysia.
Looks better with this alloy rims, don't you think?

The smaller Honda Insight Hybrid (at the back) is one of Prius' competitor

Above is the newest MV from Kelly Clarkson for the song Already Gone! Some say Already Gone features some music arrangements similar to Beyonce's hit song Halo. U decide whether it's true or not!
