Re: Motor Trend Magazine's Car of the Year....
No, but I recently read the Car and Driver review. They're not real big on the hybrids, but they gave it a good report. They said it was far more advanced than the Honda hybrid.

I think Hybreds are great ... I wish more people had them. It might help keep the price of gas down so my V-8 wouldn't cost so much to run! :grin:

Re: Motor Trend Magazine's Car of the Year....
Yep, it's all about me :grin:
... and the people I take fishing.
Actually, I've thought about getting a second car for when I don't need to pull my boat.

Re: Motor Trend Magazine's Car of the Year....
This is only the beginning of a great trend! We'll soon have hybrid SUVs, minivans, and even trucks - yes, hybrid trucks. Before we can start driving hydrogen automobiles, the combustion/electric hybrid is the way to maximize efficiency. I think Ford will soon introduce (in months) a midsize SUV, Escape, and there will be a whole host of other full-sized vehicles employing this technology.
Just imagine getting 40 mpg towing a sled in a truck! And all this with less pollution! This is a good thing!
