Who said few will buy them?

Are few buying Prius’?

Will few buy the Chevy Volt? (IMHO, GM will be backordered for five years, when they come out next year)

Seriously. Just because gas dropped in price, doesn’t mean we should get stupid all of a sudden, and forget.

That’s how Detroit got in this mess!

of course we shouldn’t forget. It is not a coincidence that SUV’s were a big hit in the 90’s when oil was really low (even with Al Gore running around) and the Prius took off when oil prices went up.
We should give a bigger tax credit to the companies that sell the most energy efficient cars.

But to have the govt bet on Tesla? Very ill advised because we don’t know if this company is a dud or not.

I’m all for a good electric car, but a million Chevy Volts recharching every night are bound to drive up everyone’s electricity rates... that whole supply and demand thingy.

Prius’ not in waiting. My daughter got a brand new one and I was surprised how roomy and efficient it is. It is mostly quiet and has good pickup. Not the smug car of previous years.

Roomy quiet and has great pickup.
