    vw golf = compact
    toyota prius = midsize
    what do you smoke?

    It's no great loss to us if hybrids are not available here. Hybrids are grossly overhyped as the best and only solution to oil shortages.

    In fact, with vehicles like the turbodiesel Hyundai Accent and Getz, we're better off. In the real world, these vehicles should offer better fuel economy.

    And the bottom line for the consumer is always at the wallet, not the kilometers per liter published on paper. You can buy a Prius for 2 million bucks, but the same 2 million can buy you a less thrifty vehicle and enough gasoline to last you a lifetime.

    With hybrids, you're buying the eco-friendly image rather than actual economy. But hey, for some people (especially in America), image is everything and you can't argue with Toyota for that.

    I put it this way...If you can afford 1.9m petot for a new car, you can definitely
    afford gasoline so why buy a Hybrid?
