Replying to: larsb (Sep 25, 2009 1:16 pm) I count about 13. Unless you are including each color. Maybe 14 if we get to see the $89,000 hybrid we just gave Al Gore and his buddies in Finland a half Billion to build. Hybrid scams abound.   WASHINGTON -- A tiny car company backed by former Vice President Al Gore has just gotten a $529 million U.S. government loan to help build a hybrid sports car in Finland that will sell for about $89,000.   The award this week to California startup Fisker Automotive Inc. follows a $465 million government loan to Tesla Motors Inc., purveyors of a $109,000 British-built electric Roadster. Tesla is a California startup focusing on all-electric vehicles, with a number of celebrity endorsements that is backed by investors that have contributed to Democratic campaigns.   http://online.wsj.com/article/SB125383160812639013.html?mod=WSJ_hpp_MIDDLTopStor- ies Replies to this message: larsb (Sep 28, 2009 7:10 am) gagrice (Oct 07, 2009 4:45 am)

The Toyota 1/X concept vehicle picture looks awesome. It is a great attempt by toyota and it is also economical and environment friendly. I will give this car, 10 out of 10 if it really has output as said above. But I hope there are other electronics attachments such as bluetooth facility, plugs for laptop and laptop memory , internet facility and mobile facilities, if you know what I mean.

Replying to: larsb (Sep 28, 2009 7:10 am) Rebadging does not make another model of car. This is my count. on current hybrids offered. Don't look for Honda to keep throwing money away on their two losers.   Honda Insight Gen. 2 Honda Civic Hybrid Gen. 2 Nissan Altima Hybrid Toyota Camry Hybrid Ford Fusion Hybrid Lexus GS 450h Toyota Prius Gen. 3 Ford Escape Hybrid Toyota Highlander Lexus RX 400h Chrysler Aspen Hybrid Chevrolet Tahoe Hybrid Chevrolet Silverado Hybrid   That makes 13 hybrids with various sheet metal changes. You could stretch the truth way out with 2WD and AWD in every category.   Only about 3 models are doing well in sales: Prius Fusion Escape
