Default Re: WSJ: Dear Valued Hybrid Customer

It always makes me laugh when people compare fully loaded hybrids to bare bones entry level vehicles.

Like my friend at work sending me an article which compared the bare-bones entry level Corolla (not even power windows) to the Civic Hybrid.....

As far as I can tell, there's no non-hybrid midsize car that has traction control, climate control, just about every airbag in the book, HID lamps & fog lights, keyless doors & start, fits two car seats and a double stroller, etc. for $14500. Not to mention getting 49.8MPG over the 22,000 miles I've put on it. If anyone finds one, let me know!
