Eco-movement reaches a new level - Toyota Prius Hearse

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 $80,000 a pop, you too can ride around (rotting) in the finest of posthumous eco luxury.

icon? Because I really have nothing positive to say about the car or its idea. I found it extremely amusing and just wanted to share the (IMHO) stupidity.
