After watching that commercial, bzr's small heart grew three sizes that day. And then the true meaning of Christmas came through, and bzr found the strength of ten bzrs plus two.
I rather liked it. It didn't change the fact that I don't want a hybrid...ever. But it made me think that Honda still has a little fun in it left. Fun + Honda's classic nerdyness makes for extreme amounts of win.
I'd probably get this over a Civic, maybe over a Pruis, if I was in the market for a new, smallish sedan. It gets about 35% better milage than my car, and I'm sure it'll will perform adequately and probably very reliably. They'll sell plenty for commuter and second cars, and probably put more strain on Prius sales - which might be the entire point.
I must say, all these comments slamming the car for not being the reincarnation of the Viper are pretty amusing. It's supposed to be a competent, comfortable appliance with a different, more economical propulsion system. Cue that flock of stunned Saturn buyers...
Personally, I find all hybrids to be cheap. I find their drivers to be cheap as well (To clarify, I don't find all of their drivers to be this way, but some).
I didn't want to mention this, but I feel I must- their drivers are also tacky and classless. Lest I forget, they're also know-it-alls. They keep spewing forth their carbon-credit agenda, and trying to vilify all of us who remain somewhat skeptical. I'm not saying I don't believe in global warming, as it is a possibility, however, to reiterate, I am saying that I still remain skeptical.
What I hate most is that they constantly chastise those who choose to drive different vehicles, especially those who choose to drive gas-guzzlers. I don't mind people who drive the Prius because they want to obtain better gas mileage, or even if they wish to reduce emissions, but don't harp on me for my vehicle choices. I will drive what I want.

But the idea is sound, certainly. And face it - it's cool.

It reminded me of my sister's LiteBrite. Remember those?
