ive been here for a few weeks, and ive yet to see all of london's sights! WTB tour guide for london! i really have no idea where to go, where to start, how to get there etc.. would be good if i can find someone free enough to bring me around the place.. but doubt so.

anyway the works coming in, and i need to do some presentation and write up.. im doing it on hybrid cars, specifically the Toyota Prius.. bet you never heard of it. Anyway, trust the Japanese to come up with the most economical and environmentally-friend hybrid vehicle.. i believe its the prius the revolutionized the whole green driving craze.. here you go a vehicle thats both green and can actually move faster than a snails pace!



they have all sorts of greenie drivers in the states that instead of 'zheng' their car to be faster, louder, and lower like singaporeans, they 'zheng' it to consume less fuel, add higher density batteries so they can last longer, and actually "hack" their vehicles to reach "Stealth Drive" mode.. that is so much more responsible than the average Singaporean! Spending money to save the environment! And Singaporeans actually spend more money to wreck it!

After seeing all the benefits of the Prius, I am quite convinced that it is indeed the most environmentally friendly car, and really want to buy it if i ever need to get a car.. UNTIL YOU SEE THE BLOODY PRICE TAG. It costs nearly $90 000 with COE! holy crap thats like nearly DOUBLE the price of a standard 1.5L Vios! Who the hell is going to buy it man?? I mean countries like the US and here in the UK they actually have tax benefits and all those incentives for buying an environmentally-friendly car.. but singapore? they make you PAY MORE to be environmentally conscious.. not such a smart move eh? thats probably why people have never even heard of the Prius in singapore.. its so bloody expensive theres only one model available, and Toyota Singapore doesnt promote it, ever. but i guess thats just singaporeans.. want bigger, better, badder vehicles to drive on the road, so can hao lian to their friends and girls. theres no bragging rights to owning the most environmentally friendly vehicle in the whole of singapore, and it definitely wont save you your ERP COE and road tax. so.. buy for what?? then if no one buy, sell for what??
