Had a:

I'd much rather have the Accord diesel. Have fun looking for a hydrogen station.

Good luck finding an accord diesel.

Unless you want to import euro goodness... in which case a new Mondeo would be a better choice...

You should be able to buy one here next fall. If so we will own one.

Be careful of the toes you step on today, as they may be connected to the ass you have to kiss tomorrow. anonymous

It always takes less energy to keep a car on the road for 25 years than to make a new replacement every 3-5 years.

Then you'll need to move to California and reside in the Torrance, Santa Monica or Irvine areas. Plus you'll also need to meet additional qualification criteria to be eligible to take an FCX Clarity home, and shell out $600/mo for a 3 year lease.

I agree, but certainly there are variables.

Yeah, like the difference of variables between a Honda and a Hyundai.

Bah... my 9,000 pound truck gets 1600 miles on a fill up...




Course it takes near 85 gallons to fill her up...

Nearly 19 mpg's isn't bad for a 9000# truck.

Yep. Its actually hella good really. Particularly when you consider it has 4.10 rear end. But the only way I get it is to stick to a steady 65 mph. If I go over that it sinks like a rock... And of course thats not towing anything real bigger than that trailer there. When I tow the Camper (flat front and 7500 pounds) it drops to 15 or less.

The Camry hybrid gets 40 city/38 hwy. The hybrids get better mileage in the city because it's using the electric motor, uses gas on the hwy.

It's a great start. Hopefully they'll get the hybrids to where they really give more from the electric motor.

Which is worse than any normal VW TDI. Make a hybrid TDI and it would walk all over the Camry's low economy.

Um, I just checked the EPA site and the window sticker on the Camry Hybrid is 33 city, 34 highway. Don't know what it delivers real world. My Prius driving friends generally report low 40s around town, high 30s highway.

Heck... my old 83 300D gets almost that now. 27 and 30. I could take a cutting torch to it and probably reduce it weight and maybe achieve that. Thats a 25 year old car! Didn't the old Rabbit Diesel do better than that with old technology?
