They may be more cost effective in the long run, but have you ever seen one of those things? America has the highest obesity rate on the planet, and they want to market the smallest fucking cars to us? I've seen midgets that had to scrunch down to get inside one of those damn things. I'm 6'2", how in the hell am I supposed to get into a 7 foot long car?

I would love to save gas money, but were would the speakers, TV's, 20" spinners, and 50 pounds of crap we all lug around in our trunk right now go?

That's a long time to wait just to break even. I mean, it'll take up to 6 years for some models... who's to say the person would even still have the car after 6 years. I don't really see this as an incentive to buy hybrids at all.

I agree. The average American trades their car in like every 5-7 years or so. Therefore, you will break even and then start all over again. But, if oil continues to rise and gas prices do the same, you could break even alot sooner. I just don't like how small they are.
