Of course, it all depends upon what your standard of "bad for the environment," is, too. It's really hard (read: impossible) to design a test for environmental damage that isn't subjective in one way or another.
I hear you, but I can't stand their marketing where plants grow everywhere after the car drives by. It's still a car, it still pollutes, it's still part of consumer culture, it's still nothing more than a band aid.
