Comparison of Toyota hybrids

 * – (View AfD) (View log)

Another example of US-centric quasi-advertisement comparison. Why only Toyota hybrids? Unnecessary comparison, uncited and reeks of spam. \ Backslash Forwardslash / (talk) 21:58, 22 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Personally, I find this useful and interesting. Yes, it's US centric, but that can be fixed. It's a new technology and the potential of hybrids is the subject of public policy debate as well as technical interest.  Why only Toyota?  Because it would be unmanageable to include all hybrids.

 * Keep I don't see the spam. It is cited.  What is necessary on wikipedia?  It is useful.  Eventually there will be a comparison of hybrids in a certain car class. Daniel.Cardenas (talk) 04:44, 23 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Comment I don't see what's wrong with it being only Toyota hybrids. That's a perfectly reasonable breakdown, afterall, we do divide things by company... as for being US centric... that's more problematic. 76.66.201.240 (talk) 05:05, 23 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Wikipedia is an almanac, among other things. Nothing wrong with this sort of comparisons.  The US-centric argument is, as always, ridiculous.  Toyota is an international company, headquartered in Japan.  They sell vehicles all over the world.   D r e a m Focus  10:58, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Is that why the prices are in US$, the cars are only those available in the US and uses US imperial units given by the US EPA as a primary unit? \ Backslash Forwardslash / (talk) 23:37, 23 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Why would they only be available in the US? Even if they only sell them here first, they don't go through the trouble of designing and producing something if they weren't going to sell it in every market out there.  And every movie article out there shows how many US dollars it cost to make and how much money it made, listed in US dollars once again, that it make in various nations.  Its what what most English speaking people use as currency.    D r e a m Focus  00:53, 24 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Use of the US dollar in this article is correct per WP:CURRENCY. However, units should technically be metric per MOS:CONVERSIONS.    talk 21:50, 29 October 2009 (UTC)

 * Keep I found the page useful, just thought I'd comment on the tag I saw on the page. Trapertoy (talk) 18:25, 25 October 2009 (UTC)
 * Relisted to generate a more thorough discussion so consensus may be reached.


 * Keep    a good summary article. This is the appropriate way to present the material--  individual articles of models if justified will expand on the details.   This is not US-Centric--cars are sold on a regional basis, and similar articles should be written for other regions  DGG ( talk ) 01:53, 29 October 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep. A reasonable comparison article.  Instead having (only) an article comparing all hybrid vehicles would be less readable and for some purposes less useful. -R. S. Shaw (talk) 06:23, 30 October 2009 (UTC)
