And more on the OFF TOPIC: Honda's still selling the Insight in California, too; possibly a result of our stricter laws concerning exhaust. There's also now a hybrid Accord model, and Ford has an Escape SUV that AAA rated pretty high.
I'm also a futurist, Clint, and totally excited by the prospect of new technology; but I'm also very interested in the environment, etc. So this stuff has me doubly excited. Unfortunately I can't afford a new car. :( But when I can, the Prius, Civic, Accord and Escape will be the top four cars I look at.
