Well, for those of us with 3 kids, these compact cars don’t seat them. Also, this is America – a really BIG country. It takes more than 2 hours to cross it. Therefore, if you don’t want to live in a big city, you have to drive far. Should people who commute have to only have a choice of a tiny electric car that won’t get them from point A to point B. Or should we all just move to the overcrowded cities. There has to be a balance. Tipping all the way to one side and not trying to find a middle ground won’t work either. We need to have fuel efficient cars in all sizes. Electric won’t work for larger cars. People are trying many avenues and I applaud thir efforts. Solutions to big problems don’t happen overnight. It takes hard work and time. Instant gratification is clouding so many minds.

We got only $300. when we thought we would be eligible for $3100. This is due to the alternative minimum tax credits –ask your accountant!!

How is it that the rest of the world is heading for 60mpg cars in a hurry, yet GM has invested heavily in hydrogen and TRUCKS. Could it be that they like picking losers.
Get real guys, the real high tech is in electric cars. They are trickling out all over the place. Hydrogen is not the solution on this planet. The infrastructure is horrendous. Compare it to electricity infrastructure which is already
here. If most of us only do 50miles or less per day, electric vehicles are viable NOW!
We always get the same story, "the public isn't ready for electric cars". What a lot of shite !! Count how many small cars are on the road today 30million? I would guess that 3/4 would rather an electric car on economy alone-if it was available. Just ask people who drive small cars.

Why is it that every single writer seems to dismiss the tax credit while comparing Hyrbid vehicle pricing? The writer of this story summarily dismisses the impact a $2000 credit while pressing the $6000+ difference in pricing. I don’t get it.
