nope. the stars are buying Priuses in their own free will as do a lot of 'mericans (wait time from day of order is 6 months i think).

Is that the Hybrid? Hows the fuel economy? I heard that Toyota had the Prius here but had trouble with it (starting)... mmm...

because they want to look like they care about the environment. Alam mo naman ang ibang stars, kahit ano gagawin para maka appeal lang sa masa. Mga hipocrite is you ask me. how many times do they really opt to drive that fugly car? They pollute the environment more than any other by using their high-end cars in regular basis and flying coast to coast.

Pero hindi dapat ako mag-reklamo about this. Kse habang may naniniwala na may abnormality sa global warming >>> may funding sa research >>> may job security ako, hehehe.

It could be co-sponsored by Toyota since ang Celebrity Grand Prix vehicle every year is a Toyota Celica. ginaganap ang Celebrity Grand Prix sa Long Beach, CA.

Eto ang fuel economy:

City 60 mpg. 48 mpg. (Prius)
Highway 51 mpg. 47 mpg. (Civic)

yung 2005 Accord hybrid naman 29/39 (city/highway)

napaka tipid nga, bagay na bagay dito sa pinas... kaso wala dito sayang

asa ka pang ipapasok dito yan
