- inactive, on 06/24/2009, -0/+18Oh for *****'s sake - is this really necessary? I laughed when I first read this, thinking it was from theonion
- onimusha115, on 06/25/2009, -0/+13If you really want to be green then dont bury your body in a casket. Burying people as we know it will be a thing of the past, there is no way we can keep up with it, its a waste of too much land. What is the point of clear cutting land so we can store dead bodies? What the hell are we saving them for anyways?
- Haptick, on 06/24/2009, -0/+13It's still not greener than dumping the body in the Hudson, like God intended it.
- hbyrne, on 06/24/2009, -0/+10Is that 44 mpg rating with or without a stiff riding along?
- Xplorer, on 06/25/2009, -1/+9I would have to be dead to be caught in a prius.......
- Chakat, on 06/25/2009, -0/+7[citation needed]
- WordsnCollision, on 06/24/2009, -2/+9Larry David eagerly planning funeral.
- pitdog, on 06/25/2009, -1/+7Prius is not green.
- inactive, on 06/24/2009, -1/+7Like anyone cares.
- DarkShroud, on 06/25/2009, -1/+6And here I thought the Prius couldn't get more fugly, silly me.
- wassim2k, on 06/25/2009, -0/+4It would be greener if they used your dead body to fuel the thing.
- WordsnCollision, on 06/24/2009, -0/+4When it comes to braking news about hybrids, truth is stranger than friction.
- LocalDocal, on 06/25/2009, -0/+4You know, the best type of car for a hearse is probably an electric one.
The primary issues right now with these types of cars is that they're slow, don't have great acceleration, and they're not necessarily safe driving at high speeds, but none of these are a problem for hearses; Hearses are typically driven slow. Furthermore, they're environmentally friendly, and uses electricity in a battery that would certainly last long enough for a drive.
Sounds like the perfect hearse vehicle to me. - LAMinator, on 06/25/2009, -0/+4Snacks for later.
- DouglasQ, on 06/25/2009, -0/+4Priearse
- gimpbully, on 06/25/2009, -0/+3oh, that's wonderful. That just sticks right in your gob, doesn't it?
- LilJimmyNordin, on 06/25/2009, -0/+3HELLO CAPITAL WASTELAND! IT'S THREE DOG!! OWWWOOOOOOOO!
- Chakat, on 06/25/2009, -0/+3I have to wonder about the economics of purchasing a hybrid vehicle that is driven on average 2000-3000 miles or so a year. Considering that a typical cadillac hearse costs about $65000 or so, and assuming $4/gallon gas, you're going to be driving for many many many years before it makes any sort of economic sense, and that's not even factoring in the lifespan of the hybrid. Hybrids make wonderful sense for a daily city driver, but here, not so much.
- schnikies79, on 06/25/2009, -0/+3Not that i agree, but funerals and cemeteries are for the living, not for the dead.
- appleofdischord, on 06/25/2009, -0/+2Hearses get *terrible* mileage. I looked into buying one so I could be all gothy...
It's like 6 miles/gallon.
Unfortunately, this one loses the gothic charm. - inactive, on 06/25/2009, -0/+2lol wut?
This isn't the World of Fallout. - eclectro, on 06/25/2009, -3/+5Just like a funeral, this article is buried.
- TonySki, on 06/25/2009, -0/+2***** stupid. you want to go out of this world looking like a pussy? then ride in this. otherwise stick to the boxy Cadillacs that are Black with yellow lights, or a motorcycle with the casket as a sidecar.
- skipvt, on 06/25/2009, -0/+2Recycling bodies makes soylant green truly green.
- TonySki, on 06/25/2009, -0/+2I wish that would happen.
- cawpin, on 06/25/2009, -0/+1A concrete vault isn't a default.
- Chakat, on 06/25/2009, -0/+1Maybe older ones, new caddy hearses get 14-15 these days. Still meh, but not completely horrible.
- eliseville, on 06/25/2009, -2/+3Hearses may not put in many miles per occupant, But everybody dies, so funeral homes use them constantly and they do spend a lot of time in idle. The Prius technology is perfect for inner-city stop-and-go traffic, since it automatically turns off the gas-burning engine, and so it would save tons of gas per year for the owner. Who really wants to keep adding unnecessary CO2 when they're already dead and can't get anymore enjoyment anyway??
- eliseville, on 06/25/2009, -0/+1Someone still has to drive it to the river, and dead bodies start stinking pretty fast unless you're gonna do all that disgusting toxic embalming first. Also, how fresh is it? It might still be leaking fluids. I wouldn't want that in my car!
- LilJimmyNordin, on 06/25/2009, -1/+2Two words: Zombie farms.
- cawpin, on 06/25/2009, -0/+1This is just for those that want to put off their "coming out" until the very last chance.
- cawpin, on 06/25/2009, -0/+1It's without anyone in the car or anything electronic on inside.
- zagatbuzz, on 06/24/2009, -2/+3It certainly cannot hurt. Its good to see car companies taking another step towards environmental awareness.
- GlassAgate, on 06/25/2009, -0/+1Be careful. A dozen ninjas could easily hide in there. The
car approaches, and POW: you're faced up against a dozen
ninjas. - LilJimmyNordin, on 06/25/2009, -0/+1Perfect if you're planning a trip down the Green Mile.
- ceredron, on 06/25/2009, -2/+3It would suck being at a funeral, and only being able to think about how fuel efficient the car carrying the body is.
Because if there's a prius hearse, I swear it would distract me at a funeral, whether it be for my great grand aunt, or my dad. - tomarocco, on 06/25/2009, -0/+1For every Prius on the road there are six V8 Mercedes Benz payments being funded.
- schnikies79, on 06/25/2009, -1/+2Bodies don't decompose in the soil anymore. They are pumped full of preservatives, put in a sealed coffin and then in a concrete vault.
- mrmuttley, on 06/25/2009, -0/+1There is a hearse that is a whole lot greener than a prius and I assure you a lot better to turn up to your won funeral in too!
http://www.funeralservicesblackburn.co.uk/images/p ... - cosmiccarl, on 06/25/2009, -0/+1Hopefully, a lot of people will start using the prius herse to go to the grocery story. It is so "goth".
- ZekeZacary, on 06/25/2009, -0/+1And even still people fail to realize that there are more efficient cars out there than the Prius, and they aren't even hybrid. Please stop. Were already drowning in enough smug as is.
- gkiltz, on 06/25/2009, -0/+1I doubt that it will challenge Cadillac for dominance of the industry!
- techdever, on 06/25/2009, -1/+1I think the 2nd and 3rd pictures are of a different car
- Demos27, on 06/25/2009, -1/+1Most hearses aren't meant to be good looking, but dear god...that thing looks like it has a tumor growing from the back. I would never want my body transported in that!
- inactive, on 06/25/2009, -0/+0I guess it's real because of the inside photos, but the side photo is the most photoshopped thing I've ever seen. The dithering on the front door is fine until it gets behind the rear door and then the pixels are stretched so much it looks like stripes until it gets to the wheel. The underside edge below it is just a clone stamp.
- LocalDocal, on 06/25/2009, -1/+1Yes, I'm sure God wants us to contaminate the water we drink and poison the fish living in there as opposed to simply putting the body in the ground where it will decompose into the soil.
- RomeyRome, on 06/25/2009, -1/+1Pussies. I'm having my casket flown around the country a few times in a C-130 just for ***** & giggles.
- airchomper, on 06/25/2009, -1/+1You'd think the weight would wreak havoc on the drivetrain.
- Faldken, on 06/25/2009, -1/+0Nonsense, if I'm on my way out. I want to take the earth down with me.
