Honda makes one of the best cars in the world. I suggest you go to a library and check out some old issues of Consumer reports. I'm sorely tempted to buy one of those hybrid rigs myself. Consider this all you folks who think we can save money by driving nothing but little cars. When we are ALL getting 50 miles to the gallon, do you see the oil companies keeping the price down? No way! they are going to gouge us for high profits just like they do in Europe. We will all be driving upholstered rollerskates and paying through the nose too.
