BamS, 25.02.2007, page 8 and 9 Toyotapowerwerbungsmaschine has managed again, with the picture help to sit down in the pose, as environmental angel no. 1! Demonstrative (pictures on 2 pages) a 190 diesel Mercedes is scrapped to take a new Prius in the reception! But read yourself (yes, only so little text)! “‘Winner ******** (name): “My stinker I have scrapped!” Hurra! After 21 [sic] years in family possession the diesel stinker is only old iron. r ******* is pleased about the new Toyota Prius with eco-friendly hybrid antrienb’” Now my questions: 1. Did Mercedes (German manufacturer) really sleep out the environmental technology, as (almost) everyone claims? What does Mercedes really do here to reduce exhaust emissions? 2. Why does Mercedes leave the “environmental battlefield” without fighting to Toyota (advertising is also meant!)? Toyota claims: We are the most environmentally friendly car brand ever! 3. Does Mercedes have incompetent M anager?
