    Gee, you reckon some enterprising accessory maker (or 3) will come out with
    a rack that will fit the tail gate to correct this relatively minor problem?

    How, exactly, is the V6 Honda Accord Hybrid misguided?

    i wouldnt call it "misguided". it does what its supposed to do. but...
    it answers a question no one really asked

    and AFAIK, its not eligible for california carpool lane status, or
    government tax credits.

    almost EVERY prius i see has the stickers on the rear quarter announcing
    its "occupant-only carpool lane status"

    Yeah well, a car thats owned by so many posers who are also actors,
    like, oooh the GOVERNER. Gee, 45-50mpg aint much, pretty much any car
    of that size with a diesel engine would do the same, and many smaller
    ones would do a lot better.

    Prius - marketing and feel good only. Efficiency, no. Oh, and the
    Guvenator having one was NOT a factor at all, I'm SURE in giving the
    priass that status.

    strange as it might seem, people have more than one car.

    Right now i have 5, with a 6th comming soon. Admittedly most are late
    80s workhorses, but then i'm not as rich as him.

  14. I think we've been here before....

    *All* cars should get worse mileage on the freeway than in the city - more
    drag. Hybrids gain most of their advantage by better adapting to in-town
    driving conditions. The current generation is scarcely any better on the
    freeway than conventional cars are, but much better in town.

    I've been frequenting a VW TDi group to learn more about how to get the most
    out of my new turbodiesel work truck. Some of the VW TDi owners brag about
    getting 35 mpg in town under favorable conditions, which agrees with the EPA
    estimates. But our 2002 Prius gets an honest 45-50 mpg in town (our main
    driving location) in warm weather, and consistently over 40 mpg fully loaded
    on long 75 mph trips. At 65 mph with lighter loads it will turn in 50-60
    mpg. Efficiency, absolutely. It is also the most fun of any car I've driven
    since I had to sell my beloved Lotus 30 years ago.

    A properly designed vehicle doesn't require after market solutions to
    design blunders.
    Forgive me for believing that the objective of hybrids is to save
    energy. The Hybrid makes no (or very little) gain in actual gas economy.

    Cheers,
    Alan

  20. The only logical reason to buy a hybrid is reduced emissions. It is for
    the environmentalists.
