#96 of 126 I agree ...................... by daysailer Oct 28, 2003 (8:22 am)
as I said, mass transit is the only rational urban solution. A personal car, as a "pod" or otherwise, still must be parked. And 'urban control' is an oxymoron, which may explain my aversion to cities.   But we've drifted WAY off-topic. So far, only Honda offers competition to Toyota hybrids, but neither hybrid manufacturer satisfies my needs.
#97 of 126 Now that I think of it................................ by daysailer Oct 29, 2003 (10:50 am)
as early as 1975 my daily driver was more than competitive with the most advanced hybrids:   0-60mph in under 7 seconds   65mpg or more in CITY driving   Traverse terrain more severe than the most rugged SUV could attempt   commanding view of the road (and everything else) with unobstructed, 360deg visibility.   outstanding ventillation system   $800 MSRP in '75
#98 of 126 that wasn't bad by nippononly Oct 29, 2003 (11:11 am)
for a motorcycle, even in 1975! The price, I mean.
#99 of 126 Honda should make by drfill Oct 29, 2003 (10:14 pm)
a Hybrid Motorcycle!
#100 of 126 if honda can do a hybrid lawn mower/boat motor by nwng Oct 30, 2003 (6:52 am)
the amount of emission alone (which is going to be a big issue)would be a great selling point.
#101 of 126 They have a hybrid lawn mower?................................. by daysailer Oct 30, 2003 (6:54 am)

Ford sets a date for HEV Escape   They begin production in July 2004 and expect to sell between 10,000 and 20,000 units. Based on the way the article is worded, I'm guessing this will be a 2WD only model.
