It IS a beautiful piece of engineering for sure! I just wish I could afford one right now...but not having a car pmt is cheaper than getting 50MPG. And in less than year so many exciting hybrids will be here ! I will even look at a GM SPARK Ive seen pics of it looks very fun ...if it has low price tag and averages 40mpg Ill def test drive it hehe

It's all about the price of gas.

In Japan, the gas tax is much higher, and Hybrids top the sales list.

If the U.S. raised gas taxes, Hybrids would be the top sellers here too.

As discussed previously......

We need a gas tax increase anyways, to pay the miltary costs for protecting our shipping lanes as well as the health care costs from pollution-related diseases.

If the goverment didn't have to pay for the cost of protecting the oil shipping lanes, we would have a more balanced budget.

If the health care industry wasn't burdened with the additional costs from pollution, the health care industry would be in better shape.

The use of gasoline is the cause of a lot of our problems. A gasoline tax increase is the solution.

A gas tax also gives Japan FREE WORLD CLASS medical care for every person there! Here we prefer 60% of bankruptcies to be medical related cause it keeps massive bloated medical system overpaid and lines lawyers pockets.

Expensive department stores hype chi flat irons their ineffective skin care products. Many have ingredients that can do more harm than good. I'm not going to cover the ingredients chi hair straightener in this article as I have in others. What I want to emphasize here is the importance of using a neck firming cream versus a skin moisturizer. Later I"ll tell you where to get a good line of natural skin care products.
