The 2010 Toyota Prius…Hearse

By Mark Wilson on June 24, 2009 at 3:00 AM

Trust us: If there’s one time you can get away with a not-so-green lifestyle, it’s when you’re dead.

Still, this Toyota Prius Hearse plans to unleash its green yuppie fury on Japan’s funeral circuit. For just $US80,000 a pop, you too can ride around (rotting) in the finest of posthumous eco luxury. According to a rough translation and some metric conversion, it looks like this supersized Prius gets 4.5L/100km. That’s really pretty good for a dead person mobile. It’s just too bad you won’t be around to appreciate the fuel savings while giving smug looks to truck drivers at the pump. [Press Release via Japan Probe]

    Huh? Mark, being dead is about as eco/worm friendly a “lifestyle” as you can get! Human fertiliser!
