Re: New Toyota Belta - 990 kg, 51 mpg (US)
It looks like a good hybrid alternative for someone who supports resource conservation, but doesn't have $25k to spend on a car.
Of course, Big Oil will probably lobby the government to only allow a crippled version of the car (ie. engineering the exhaust system so that the car only gets 33 MPG.) the reason why I point out this possibility is that the Japanese versions of the Prius and Insight get a hell of a lot more gas mileage than their American counterparts.
