I'd love to see the CRX revived, but that kind of frugality isn't trendy enough to be popular right now. It seems as though if it isn't a Hybrid, it must not be environmentally friendly or fuel-efficient. Can't say I have any interest in owning a hybrid.

Now with the cayman around, I keep thinking of it. The 07 LGT Spec.B was the runner-up last year this time, when I bought the s4 avant instead. I'm still thinking about getting one... A few issues: seats are not great, throttle response is not very linear & overall build doesn't feel as good as honda/bmw. I do think they have a better awd/suspension than the xi's. |

I imagine the attractiveness of hybrids is going up a bit with $5/gallon gas about to hit the market. I still don't understand why intelligent people want them in their current form.
I would love to see a plug in hybrid option with a 50 mile range though - the ability to use no gas at all would make me laugh. |

The problem with the four cylinder side of the aisle is you can't get the options and comfort packages available in the larger sedans - I just wish we had the engine options the europeans get - you could still have your "neanderthal" set-ups while "sensible" people could buy the "slow" cars :) Ed |

You can get it for under 40k and it'll do up to 25 mph on electric power only. It'll return around 30 to 33mpg around town but less on the highway. For certain people who live in an environment where that sort of urban constant stop and go driving is a reality, a vehicle like this makes sense. I think. Ed |
For me, that number doesn't make any sense at all. I would just get a MINI. Or a Honda Fit. Either would be much better imo since you don't have to worry about the battery and would still get better mileage.
Come to think of it, even the four cylinder civic is rated for something like 33/40. |
