#334 of 393 September Car & Driver Hybrid Comparison by solar_dad Aug 23, 2004 (1:18 pm)
FYI, C&D has an interesting comparison of gas-sipping cars this month, called the "Frugalympics," at:   http://caranddriver.com/article.asp?section_id=15&article_id=- 8427   As John mentioned earlier, it does a nice job of laying out the different driving conditions and courses they used for city/hwy mileage. Let the debate begin.   Mike

Replying to: gagrice (Aug 22, 2004 4:56 pm) This isn't the place for politics so I'm don't mean to stir things up but during the CA recall Arnold S. indicated he would convert one of his Hummer's over to hydrogen and that hasn't happened (okay by me, just a PR stunt IMO) Now Arnold Schwarzenegger says he wants to use solar power & not just for him, anyone have details on this ? Just imagine a Prius stopped at a light recharging its batteries via solar panels on its roof. Replies to this message: gagrice (Aug 23, 2004 5:04 pm)

Replying to: rfruth (Aug 23, 2004 2:13 pm) The one article I read was offering tax incentives to contractors that would equip homes with solar panels to alleviate the energy shortage. I don't think anyone is serious about solar for vehicle power at least in the near future.

I just got a chance to read the article people have been mentioning. Quite interesting how they threw an Echo into the mix. I don't think they were too thrilled with it either! They also were somewhat biased against the VW TDI. I'd have to agree with them on the Prius. I came away quite impressed with my extended test drive (a bit over 50 miles). I haven't driven the HCH so I can't make any comments. I have driven an Echo and let's just say there is NO comparison. The Prius is quite Lexus like in its execution. The Echo is so crude it shouldn't even be compared. If supplies ease in the next year or so, I will definitely consider a hybrid. Now I finally realize what all the hype is about. Its well deserved. Kudos Toyota!!
