Genius logic



GM, BMW, and Honda have tried that route and people like you laughed at the attempts because they weren't 'real' hybrids, but they worked. So don't be hypocritical.

The only answer you'd be happy with would be to COPY the Prius and price it the same. Of course then you'd blast 'em for not coming up with anything new.

Maybe if Ford built it, or it was a diesel, you'd be happier
People like me? You don't even know who I am Kaiser, ur, I mean Kaisen. (whatever).

People like me carry money for new cars (eventually), but only one winner will emerge when I plunk down; and it's not going to be the one with overpriced technology that doesn't mean crap to driving up and down the freeway in rush hour traffic.

Is that clear enough for you, Chief?
