I'll say it again. I don't think Mark hurt the hybrid cause. And except for a letter to the editor clarifying HAH MPG data, I don't really feel a lot of acrimony towards the NYT either; I've read *much* worse garbage.

In the worse case, the NYT took a sucker punch at the HAH -- and even there, didn't dispute the car is performance luxury car. I don't think any of us dispute that a significant part of the HAH design was towards acceleration and not FE. Am I missing things here ?

Addendum: I looked up the EPA for the HAH and the V6:
HAH: 29/37
V6: 21/30

I'd have to look at the article again, but this is probably the most glaring error, since I think the reporter wrote these two cars get similar MPG.

R2-E2, 2G Prius.
Highway/City/Husband/Wife MPG: 56.5, as of 12/2005, 26K miles

this car [P2000] within this year [1998]. We will also make FCEV available in
2004."
