    Chysler used to stash their unsold inventory in empty parking lots, warehouses, and railyards.

    I wonder if Toyota uses Tundras as hill retainers?

    Quite frankly the Prius commercials make me think it CAUSES global warming. I mean, it drives up a mountain and suddenly all the snow melts away? Let that be a lesson to all you smug Prius owners out there; if drive a Prius, YOU cause rapid global warming!

    Other side effects may include random plants sprouting from the desert, vomiting / nausea / indigestion from actually looking at the Prius, and in some extreme cases death resulting from being so smug around others.

    So, now you hate flowers too?

    Toyota has to be one of the least hippiesque companies around. I would not confuse advertising for corporate culture. If anything, they are pitching an easily digestible message to potential customers, in a way they think will be most effective. They seem to be selling some cars with this approach.

    Maybe they can get some flora to grow around the plant that makes the batteries for the Prius. Somehow, I doubt they'd live to see a week.

    This is actually the grave of Prii dead batteries. In a few years the acid coming out of them will create ants and worms that will dominate the world.

    My mom friggin' loves those commercials. The fact that everything is made out of people - including the a capella music - just warms her demographic-targeted heart.

    I hate these ads' friggin' guts. They just rub me the wrong way. And the Wizard of Oz did people-in-pajamas-as-scenery...70 years ago.

    I guess the human rights people wouldn't allow them to hire a couple dozen migrant workers to don pastel bodysuits and sway in the wind. I suppose their contracts were limited to just planting the flowers instead.

    @Ash78: Heart for you!

    As it stands, hey, let Toyota throw some money into flower installations, because flowers are pretty and all that. And hopefully this will start a trend. I'd like to see Lamborghini sponsor some cattle pens in South Beach, for example. Any other ideas?
