I'm glad to see more hybrid cars in the near future. The impact of switching quickly away from gas guzzlers to more efficient vehicles is something that needed to be done.
The useless delaying tactics by the big 3 automakers is impacting them harder than they expected 5 years ago. The nonsense of saying "we're making other alternate vehicles, so we shouldn't worry about hybrids or miles per gallon numbers." The current cost at the pump is pushing consumers to buy more fuel efficient cars. What else can you say when a GEO metro sells on ebay for more than bluebook value?
Or that the gas sippers from the 80's and 90's are looked on with desire, instead of distain for rolling gas tanks?
