Hummer vs. Prius

MSN has an article today comparing General Motors' Hummer to Toyota's Prius. According to MSN, while the Hummer initially outsold the Prius until early 2003, sales of the Prius have been gaining and finally have passed sales of the Hummer in late 2003. The much more expensive Hummer uses 473% more fuel than the Prius, and MSN, calling the Hummer a "mediocre car," said that the Prius outsold the Hummer by a 2-to-1 margin at the end of 2003.

The article admits that comparing the Hummer and the Prius is like "comparing apples and oranges, or apples and watermelons." MSN states that some of its future comparisons will include the "Nuclear Bomb vs. the Water Balloon," "Abraham Lincoln vs. Benedict Arnold," and "Godzilla vs. Bambi."
