The Ford Fiesta is one hot hatch, with thousands of pre-orders already in place and the car soon set to launch. While it is a strong looker with impressive MPG ratings (likely around 40 mpg on the highway) it is lacking in one key area; horsepower. With 120 horsepower on tap, it isn’t exactly the epitome of excitement. But there has been plenty of speculation about Ford dropping one of its new EcoBoost engines into the hatchback. These spy shots from Autoblog seem to indicate just such a project is under way at Ford. |

To me, there are only two good reasons to “Go Green”. To save the Earth from ourselves… and to save some money. While the former seems rather altruistic and selfless, the latter is all about the bottom line. As it turns out, many “green” people may not be in it for all the right reasons. According to a new study published in the Psychological Science Journal, green people tend to cheat and steal more than their conventional comrades because they see themselves as having the moral high ground. What gives? |
