Further disclosure, the new Camaro looks pretty sweet as well. Of course with this economy I'll probably not be looking for another new car any time in the near future.
being a gm guy, i'm glad to see you at least considered the camaro and volt. yes, the volt is probably gonna be more expensive, but the technology behind it is what the prius should've been using. as far as hybrid/electric cars go, i believe the volt will be a much better vehicle.

i don't know too much about other cars like these (because i've never been interested in them), so i can't really comment on the corolla, the fit, or others.

thing is, the volt will be able to travel about 40 miles on a charge, using NO gas at all. keep the batteries charged , and you can drive around town without a single drop of liquid fuel. for drives longer than that, the only gas used is to run the generator that recharges the batteries. sounds like a fuel-efficient system to me




ps - i can't join this discussion without posting this. it's too funny!
