Meguiars Environmentally friendly?

Re: Meguiars Environmentally friendly?

finally, someone else knows about this, ive been preaching to the prius lovers for years about how awful their car actually is, besides being harmful to the environment, scientists also dont have an effective way to dispose of the $8k batteries that have to be replaced ever 5 years or so; that car itself is just cheaply made. toyota makes some good stuff, but this isnt it, they've got much of the population wrapped around their finger. Another thing, Im tired of car companies bragging about their cars getting 30mpg, that's not all that impressive, especially when European cars (granted they are smaller) are getting 50-60+. Sorry, rant over

I'm not saying the Prius is a bad car, and I do not mean to Prius-bash. I'm just saying that personally, I would never buy one and that many people that do buy them, buy them under false pretenses and for the wrong reasons.

What is also funny is that someone (forgot who) took a new European diesel BMW 5 series and compared it to the Prius. The Prius averaged about 40.5mpg and the BMW, a 2-ton big *** luxury car, averaged 42 or something!

Top Gear also did a funny little thing where they took the Prius around a race track as fast as possible for so many laps, and had a new M3 following behind (just keeping up). Prius got about 17mpg where the M3 got 19 lol! I love Top Gear; funny stuff.

If I wanted to lease a 4-door hatchback that got good mileage though and I do virtually all city driving in a real city (like L.A., not rural), than the Prius would make perfect sense and is a good car. Otherwise in rural areas, a car with longer legs for the freeway will do much better.

I think Meguiars is more than environmentally friendly. We lost our beloved #16 because of VOC problems with it. So, if they cut out a major product to follow the law, then they work on ways to keep their products enviro friendly AND make them work still.
She probably does drive an SUV or an old nasty smoke puking volvo diesel LOL. Or she could be driving a Prius......

I had a teacher that loves the enviroment but yet he drives a corvette ZR1 a 73 vette and a 92 white vette vert. LoL.

Re: Meguiars Environmentally friendly?

Wow...I have to say that this is a first for me on Meguiars. I am a school teacher and a Meguiars user. I am sad to see that you guys are uniformly bashing teachers as though we are trying to brainwash your kids. Also, you can take off the tinfoil hats guys...the government is not telling us to preach environmental safety to our students.

Well, this thread strayed a little far from the topic...

Time to close this thread... it's Friday night, 4th of July night... note to self... in the future instantly close all threads on this topic and let people bring them up on other forums.

The thing about a "Flame War" is that even if you win... you lose... which means everyone involved loses, thus it's never worth the time and energy of the people involved as you're not going to change anyone's mind and it ends up being just a waste of bandwidth and pixels.



Started posting to the Internet in 1994, not as long as some but longer than most and what I've learned over all these years is the fastest way to get into a flame war on the Internet is to bring up one of these three topics,

1. Politics
2. Religion
3. Who makes the best car wax

Personally love to discuss all of them... just not on this forum...

Try to learn from this experience and then try not to repeat it... at least not on this forum....

Thanks and closed
