Re: Civic Hybrid 2008 Replacement?

If you don't have any issues with ergonomics in a Prius, I'd just buy one of those and call it a day.

Re: CleanMPG member Herm has passed away :(

Ugh. That's terrible. I never quite knew what to make of him, but he certainly added an interesting flavor to the forums. I'll miss his posts.

Re: Mercedes and the Diesel

MB diesels are astounding highway cruisers. A pleasure to drive (when they aren't broken...) with far better FE than they have any right to deliver. My MIL has a '99 or '00 that just keeps on...

Re: Cited for cornering to fast, anything I can do?

Tire squealing just means you are turning money into noise and then exiting the turn slower than if you had gone through at a better speed. Either slow down, pick a better line, or both.

Re: A Volt is at Home

I'm not gonna lie, I'm a little jealous. The Volt has been a remarkably solid offering from GM. Midding ICE FE or not, I wouldn't mind having one in the drive.

Re: Going to buy a new car...

I didn't realize that the 5 was only 2-seats across in the 2nd row. It should be fine for hauling a young family of 5 locally, then, but I don't know what they would do on an overnight trip. I can't...

Re: Signs of Solyndra? Fisker Lays Off 75 Percent of Employees

That completely defies logic. If you want to argue that his administration has made some terrible investments, we can talk. But you make it sound like you think he's the one who fired them. God...

Re: Going to buy a new car...

Re: Porsche Panamera Goes the Way of the Plug-in

That's like asking why someone would buy a long-wheelbase Mercedes S class and then pay someone else to drive. All that money and you only get to use the back seat!

Re: Volvo V60 Plug-in Hybrid stars in New York as one of three candidates for the Wor

The V60 PHEV is a nice piece of technology, but I'm pretty sure the sticker price will make a Volt look downright pedestrian. I'd be happy to see Volvo bring any regular wagon to the US market with...

Re: Motor, Transmission Mount Damage

I have seen them go. Heat exposure doesn't help rubber components, so a southern CA resident is more likely to have problems than a IL resident.

Needing new mounts doesn't sound unreasonable, and that price may or may not be realistic. The book for my car quotes 1.8 hours standard labor plus $140 for the part, which would be right around...
