Did you see this line:
"the buzz in Tokyo is that the Fit hybrid will be only about $1,800 more expensive than the regular gas version — which is less than half the premium buyers are paying for hybrids right now. Even better, it should deliver very good fuel mileage, better than the Civic hybrid and close to the 56-66 mpg that the tiny Insight coupe delivers in U.S. trim. "


That looks good to me. Also looks like the technology only costs about $1800. I thought it was more like $4000 (I was comparing Camry to Camry Hybrid, but who knows...). Anyway, that means you really COULD get your money back in gas savings (esp if gas goes up more-- and who doesn't think that will happen?). I also think the gas mileage, esp for us hypermilers will be really awesome.

You think it would be worth waiting for?? I could afford a new Fit, I think. But i'm not sure re: HCH or Prius. And is this just hearsay at this point?? Because I would wait for this.
