Re: Crank-forward bicycling.

Re: Recharge Battery Electric Mower

Seems expensive considering the use of lead acid batteries. Maybe closer to $1000?

Re: Fiat and Chrysler enter into a global strategic alliance called NewCo

Neil Cavuto said this morning that Fiat cars are matchboxes and they would never work here.

We need $5-$10 / gallon gas to convince otherwise.

Re: Honda sales in March...

The Insight II is somewhat unique IMO. The IMA system is relatively simple which should keep the cost low. It is basically a hybridized Fit with a roughly $4k premium. That is excessive. The...

Re: New Japanese hybrids, plug-in coming

Hopefully their interpretation of low priced does not equal $20k.

Re: Detroit Electric resurrected as $25,000 electric car

I hope they are serious about those timelines. The 110 mile range vehicle sounds like a viable option for me.

Re: All-new Honda Insight- starts under $20,000

This is disappointing. That is priced way to high in my opinion. I won't be buying now.

Re: 'Hybrid' bikes?

The most cost effective kits I have seen are 50cc two stroke kits that can easily be added to a bike. They cost about $150 and are a lot of fun. I can get about 120MPG out of mine.

Re: Honda sees brisk demand for cheap hybrid Insight

Wayne,

Do you know if the release date in the US is 4/22 or early April? I've read both in different articles.

Re: A New Hybrid Sprouts in the Shadow of the Prius

The base model needs to be in the $17's before destination charge. If it is more than that, it is overpriced IMO. I have a feeling from Fukui's statment, the LX will be in the $19k's. :(

Re: Price announced on 2010 Honda Insight in Japan... On sale this Friday

So we get a price of ~$18,500 for the LX after the consumption tax is removed? That's to high IMO. The LX needs to come in at $17,000 - $17,500, again IMO.
