Personally, I'd rather spend $21k for a car with a Star Trek propulsion system than $21k for some "upscale" sedan that boasts leather seats and turbo read-window defoggers (big whup!). But to each his own.

The WSJ writer just doesn't get that people spend money on things they want. Period. If people didn't want hybrids, you can bet Toyota, Ford, and Honda would stop making them. [/color]
