Nope lol

All we get are overpriced hybrids....currently have nothing in the 6-8 thousand dollar price range. That's what I'm talking about. A no frills box on wheels with a tiny motor.

As much as I hate to admit it, Laz has a point, and a good one.

Current Hybrids cost way more than equivilent non hybrid cars, and deliver marginal performance gains at best.

Don't get me wrong, Laz's philosophy is why we still have 10 mpg vehicles on the street. But from a purely personal $$$ perspective the hybrids don't work, yet.

What we need is to get rid of gasoline for transport entirely.

yep.. when people want em we will get crap boxes to drive... that will keep gas prices down to the point that I can afford to keep driving real cars while you guys drive those expensive, slow, boring cars that women want you to own.

This is nothing new.

i dont like the smart design, a car should look like a smart 'after' a crash, but not before ;)
