    Tell me it isn't true...

    Talking to my local Toyota dealer on the weekend.

    He was crapping on about how Toyota are going HYBRID because diesel is cancerous and will eventually be banned

    anyway what he DID say is that we can look forward to:


    • HYBRID Rav-4
    • HYBRID Hilux



    Toyota
    It's not broken. It's "Carbon Neutral".


    gone

    1994 Defender 130 HCPU "Rolly"
    1996 Discovery 1

    current

    1995 Defender 130 HCPU and Suzuki GSX1400

    Be happy that the batteries used in hybrids contain lots of toxic chemicals which will probably be found to be carcinogens in the future.
    Biodiesel would probably be the best future direction for motor vehicles.

    You won't find me on: faceplant; Scipe; Infragam; LumpedIn; ShapCnat or Twitting. I'm just not that interesting.

    Diesel is cancerous?? What a knob. All fuel is bad for the human body. Most sales reps would need to take a second bight of a **** sandwich to actually realise they're eating a **** sandwich.

    I'd say he's been told that by the marketing team and is running with it as he has no idea otherwise. I would have laughed in his face, called him some fun names and walked.
