Guess they want a green image - maybe they ought to take a look at those hybrid batteries' impact on the environment. For the impact the batteries make on the earth along with the altnernative fuel impact for one year you can drive a full-size Hummer and use gasoline for 1-1/2 years. Seriously. I checked this out and then bought a Hummer because I like them and they make me happy. Added to the fact that all the hybrids I looked at except for one got less mpg than their same exact counterparts in gas. Hmmm- sound like anyone will want to buy one of these back from us? Maybe we would have to pay them to take it. All the new cars I looked at except a few all are PLASTIC all over the front and in the back too. They salesmen told me that was for my safety - that it is just as strong under the plastic as the old cars. I think they are plastic because of mpg issues and don't really see that safety could be enhanced if someone in a big metal automobile hit you in your little plastic one. Anyone else run into this dilemma when shopping for a new car? Horses are looking better to me all the time. They are friendly too!
