Hmm, since one is talking about killing the electric car, Honda killed not only the Insight but the Accord Hybrid.

Is Honda forcing their customers to spend more on fuel now that 2 of their 3 Hybrids are currently off the market? Does this mean Honda is getting kickbacks from Big Oil?
I'm in favor of closing this thread that has become useless for "professionals".
