>I was just visiting family in Montreal and my sister just bought an ION. I told her it was very impressive and the best car I could remember her buying (she always bought a tad too cheap < s >)

>>>>You are correct. There was an article about it in US World and News Report about a year ago. They clearly showed that the prices for hybrid cars should come down, way down, to make the overall cost of owning less. I think hybrid cars are for rich people to make them feel good, as if they are helping the environment <g>.
