Hate to say it, but I think the Prius looks better.

This thing looks outdated already, let alone two years from now!

That price tag is attractive though.

just kidding! i just looked at the photos and saw that it’s just a mule.

thought this was a frankfurt unveil!

Honda Fit + Honda Odyssey is the recipe for this one if you guys are wondering

Don’t worry Brendino - “type first, think later” is stardard operation procedure here at LLN.

Im glad that Honda is making a dedicated model for their Hybrid. This will be the best and only comp to the Prius. It seems like the Hybrid thing died down a little in the last few years I cant wait to see diesel come back

1115 - Prius’s only competitor but only until the Volt comes out

Well we shall see about the Volt. Thats not a Hybrid though, isn’t that a full plug in ???

O yes, I forgot that GM was moving along to more advanced technologies like FULL electric, plug ins rather than wasting their time on gasoline-powered hybrids.

1115 - I’ll say this. If GM doesn’t get the Volt to market by 2011 at the latest, my next car after my CTS will be a Japanese one. Deal?

Uh no GM had the shot at the full electric in the 90’s THEY BLEW IT I dont give a **** what you are driving just dont push your bs on me thats all
Settled ?

they didnt blow it, the EV1 was great, and loved by many, and killed by corporations

triple15 youre serious THE MOST gullible and easily pursuaded person ever. but once you are persuaded on an issue, it seems to be impossible to sway you back.

Who Killed the Electric Car - a propaganda movie that hates on everyone who doesn’t want to wipe their ass with 1 sheet of the toilet paper only in order to save the planet.

GM killed the EV-1 for financial reasons! They made it because they were required by law. Once they had fulfilled their requirement, they turned back to their focus on highly profitable SUVS and pickups which were still very popular in the 90s. Did oil companies pressure GM to not just cancel the program, but also destroy the vehicles? Perhaps, but I didn’t see that movie and I’m not gonna waste my time with it. EV-1s cost a LOT to build so why build them when there are trucks and SUVs that you can sell? - remeber that GM is a business. It was one of GM’s because mistakes to cancel it though because it hit their image hard. Toyota didn’t make much profit at all (or actually lost money?) on the Prius in the beginning, but it gave them an eco-friendly image and made them the poster boy for the global warming thing (hence Al Gore III sets land speed records for the Prius while drunk)

Anyway, here you are starting again with the OLD ****. Its the past, GM learned their lesson and now I truly believe they are committed to bringing the Volt to market

Ill pay the extra fuel tab not to own these ugly ass hybrids

You are so blinded by your racist patriotism and your love for GM you cant see them for the greey worthless corporate monster they are You are persuaded easily by their bull**** If you believe what you said then I have a bridge in Brooklyn that I can sell you They were greedy and its been biting them in the ass and its people like you who support them
I saw Bob Putz on Autoline Detroit and he wants to bring it out within the next three years Lets see if they follow through and lets see if its reliable Put your trust in GM and you will be disapointed everytime
History is the best predictor of the future remember that

Racism again who??

GM was greedy, and their sales went in freefall for a while. I think they learned from that.
Today, it is Toy who is greedy because they have forgotten about quality in their pursuit to become the #1 automaker. GM on the other hand isn’t concerned with that (if they were, they would have bought Chrysler). They are concerned with making better cars and winning back their customers..not being #1

They havent learned **** They are still making **** They make 3 decent cars and you want them to succeed so bad you are blinded Toyota is on top bc they make the best along with other jap companies
Your “patriotism” has racist overtones to it I buy american bc Im american
Buy what you like or buy what is the best Dont buy just bc its american That is so ignorant. I try and give you the benefit of the doubt but you keep posting bs

I dont think I saw this in the above comments about the EV1. They did make the EV1 because of new laws that were created in California back in the 90s. Even Ford was working on their plugin Ranger. The reason the green car projects were killed back then was because the auto companies lobbied enough to get the law killed that forced them to make these electric cars. Once the law was eliminated they killed off all the cars and projects. In hindsight it was a pretty bad move. If the law had withstood we would be much further along with these types of cars.

Most of you guys probably already knew that though.

1115: Prius is a signature car. I think honda should have gone with a 4-door instead of the insight.

Killing the EV-1 was a mistake.

Nobody buys american just because it’s american. Get over that!

I agree with you jjt Nobody buys american!

SEEMS INTERESTING

1115: can you read, or does your brain stop working after 3 words?

Does your Tempo work past 3 miles ?

I’m sure it does. I sold it. Though the honda I owned of the same model year was fit only for the junkyard

Sure Jack
