...would be too easy, though, to dismiss the 500-m.p.g. movement as all hype and hope. After all, not long ago, hybrids like the Toyota Prius sounded like a laughable idea. These days they are being snapped up by consumers more than willing to pay a premium. So before this pipe dream is summarily cast aside, it's worth exploring. Could it be that the motley coalition of tree huggers and hawks is on to something...

Coleman grew up in Dallas and Forth Worth, Texas, loving Guns...
...business that bothered him. He was also a little put out by the acclaim heaped on his Frankenstein's monster (ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY named it the best album of 2004). "Mixing two records takes discipline and creativity, but it's not talent," he says. "It's just output." When the hype cooled, Burton feared that his little gag might pigeonhole him as a novelty act. "I don't want to dismiss it, but it was a weird kind of success...
