Can you imagine a pickup truck hybrid. Only 10pct of trucks sold are used for work. We guys just love trucks. A hybrid with 250 hp would be enough to pull around a 4500 lb pickup. Lets get someone to produce one. I looked at a Honda Ridgeline with a 6 cyl and it gets a combined rating of 17 mpg. My 06 Jeep Commander with a v6 gets 15 mpg combined but weighs 6500 lbs . Honda could do much better with a small pickup.

This is a great step in the right direction in making it
easier for drivers to transition away from using oil as the only source of
fuel. We can break the oil monopoly today if we embrace replacement fuels like
ethanol, methanol, natural gas and electricity, but those fuels need to be
accessible to consumers.

lol. You have so totally lost me. When you talk about K-cars, Pontiac Azteks, Cadillac Cimarrons, or PT Cruisers you might as well be talking about sports players. I may have heard their names but I’m not quite sure…

Now if you talk about the Tesla I’ll go into a lot of details…

And thank goodness for that. I still see K-cars plodding around sometimes, and it gives me a little thrill of horror. Kind of like the gag reflex when one sees a Pontiac Aztek, or the sour taste in your mouth when you encounter a Cadillac Cimarron.

And let’s not even begin on the utter lunacy that produced the beige convertible PT Cruiser.

That time with Daimler brought some styling changes to Chrysler. They’ve turned out some interesting cars.

Looks like a 55 Chevy to me…

Hmm. I’d buy an electric Chrysler 300 in a heartbeat. Love those things; they look like a poor(ish) man’s Rolls Royce. Except prettier. But the odds of that happening are next to nil…
