It’s such a “winner” that the government has to force it on you, and it still isn’t the best-selling version of the Camry after that option has been available for over a decade? Think about that.

“It’s such a “winner” that the government has to force it on you, and it still isn’t the best-selling version of the Camry after that option has been available for over a decade? Think about that.”

It could have something to do with the fact that there are many who don’t like newfangled gadgets, you know, Luddites. And there lot’s of freepers that fit that description.

But I’m curious, why wouldn’t YOU buy a car that gets way better gas mileage, 600 mile range, more power than one that’s maybe $2500 cheaper. Is it strictly the price difference for you? Even though you may be making up that difference in a couple of years driving, and would also have a higher resale value?

Or is it strictly the notion that the government is “forcing it on you”? I don’t know any laws today that say you have to buy a hybrid.

And to be clear, I’m against any mandates from the government, but if something comes along that’s objectively better I’m sure as hell not going to look askance at it simply because the government likes it too.

In simpler terms, I’m not going to cut my nose to spite my face, as you might be doing.
