Giving a tax break for hybrids is economic suicide, unless you think American taxpayers should help subsidize the Nipponese (Honda, Toyota).

If they're going to build some here, why not? I trust them before GM, or this writer from the "Detroit News."

Tax or not, innovation to conservation is going to win the game in an environment of rising fuel prices. Unfortunately money that should be spent by US auto makers to develop a more efficient vehicle is being siphoned to pay off unions and various other parasites that have been allowed to fester.

My '86 Honda Civic hatchback is running strong and well...I get 34 mpg and it was built in Ohio.

And it's been paid for since '91.

I would NEVER buy a supposedly-American piece-of-you-know-what!
