You can buy a Honda Fit for $12k and save $400 a month in car payment. So, any gas money you save with this car is a moot point.
A $40k hybrid is not the answer. We need a sub $20k all electric or plugin hybrid.
I was really excited about this car until now. With this car all your doing is moving your gas expense to you car payment - unless your already driving a $40 - $50k car in which case you prolly could give 2 sh@@s about gas prices.
hahah you are so right! 40,000 is an atrocity! people driving lexus and caddy could care less if gas hits 7bux, unless they are phonies... 20,000 for a plugin/high mileage car would make a whole lot of sense for the average joes
*sighs* And once again people don't get it. Jason. Grow a clue. These cars are designed to remove our dependency on foreign fuel and to transfer carbon emissions from the pipe to a centralized location like a plant that can with time be cleaned up. Its a hell of a lot easier to upgrade the tech at a single point like a nuke plant or whatnot vs. 1 million cars. this isn't about saving you money...yes it ISN'T ABOUT YOU....Sorry I know the American occupation is ME ME ME ME ME....but sorry in this case it isn't.
I don't think the point is spending the same amount on fuel versus car payment, It's more of a were running out of resources so we need a option other then gas.
