The World with Prius

This year is believed to be the hottest summer yet, most also believe we can blame global warming; best bet is to go green. Toyota provides an advertisement for consumers that if you drive a Prius the earth will break out into joy and dance when you drive by. Toyota Prius is an electric car pushed to consumers to solve our many high emission pollution problems. This dealer has begun to push hybrid vehicles in hopes of creating a big effect in our O-Zone layer.

            Toyota promise drivers the experience of earthly happiness; these claims are supportable only by the fact that Prius is an electric car and will not put off large emissions. However plants will not come to life and dance for you while driving down the road. Prius also provides great gas mileage as show in their advertisement, along with great savings from high MPG. Driving Prius gives consumers great savings at the pump but also helps the environment strive.

            Toyota provides consumers with the ability to save money and help the environment with a safe efficient vehicle. Toyota’s main cause for the advertisement is of course to sell their product; Toyota also wants to appeal to consumers of quality drivers, with money saving values. We all know about California having noticeable smog cover Prius has been the first attempt at reducing emission clouds, and that has spoken to many consumers alone, shown to be another big reason for Toyota Prius advertisements.
