Your text above demonstrates that you have bought into this propaganda, and as such I simply ask you to go first as an example to us all, and sell your Camaro and show us your Prius, as a shining example for us all to emulate. EDIT: How about junking your Camaro, then buying a Prius? I think that would really prove your environmental Bona Fides.

Glad you asked. In addition to the Camaro, I've owned a hybrid (Ford Fusion) since 2010. It's a grocery getter with a motor that revs like a sewing machine. And I drove it for 10 years as my DD. So don't tell me that I don't understand what I'd be giving up when if I can no longer have my Camaro.
I track my SS 1LE and the roar of the V8 (never mind the awesome handling) is addictive. Our appreciation for muscle cars, sports cars, a well sorted chassis, the rumble and vibration of a V8, is totally lost on most people. To the average car buyer these days, a vehicle is an appliance that gets you from point A to point B and "the thrill" if any, is all about the electronic features. I guess it makes it a lot easier to herd the masses toward EVs.
