Just in case anyone was wondering, a 46" TV fits in the back of a Prius, too

(an LCD, so it could go on its side, not plasma which would have to ride upright!)

The look on the face of the kid at Circuit City was priceless.

WHOA!!! VW is coming out with a hybrid-diesel Golf/Rabbit to compete with the Prius (finally, something to compete with the Prius, as I don't like how it looks or drives!)

70 mpg...with farfugnugen! As a Rabbit owner, this makes me very happy.

I think the auto makers could make a more efficient vehicle than what we have. I was talking with a friend, she has a Ford Focus(couple of years old), I asked her how was the mpg? She said it was OK, she use to have a Geo Metro and got 60 mpg.

With all the technology that we have, I can't believe they can't come up with vehicles that can get 50 mpg.

Just my .02. Gas just went from $3.42 to $3.70 a gallon.

The Honda Fit is a good car with lots of room and good mileage. BUT, the same car in Japan gets ALOT better mileage. I read that Honda didn't want the Fit to get better mileage than the Civic Hybrid, which is a more expensive car.

It really stinks. Just give us the car that's available in Japan (same for VW and their diesel hybrid Rabbit that they won't bring over here--only available in Europe).
