Green consumption became "positional consumption" that identified the consumer as a member of a moral and intellectual elite. A 2007 survey found that 57 percent of Prius purchasers said they bought their car because "it makes a statement about me." - George Will
yeah, just wondering what percentage of Hummer buyers (or any car for that matter) believe that buying that particular vehicle "makes a statement about me"...
Let's face it, this is America - cars have ALWAYS made statements about their owners. ALWAYS. This is nothing new. Do Porsche owners believe their car makes a statement about them? Yes, they do. Lord. Sometimes the stupd hurts and slanders.
