better than I thought. How long does it take to charge though?
I think about an hour to charge 80% of the battery with their special plug. Maybe 2-3 hours for 80% with a regular plug/outlet. Takes an additional 4-6 hours to charge that last 20% for some reason (well, that's how it is for any rechargeable battery).

oh lordy, don't get me started on pt cruisers. They gave me one when my S was in the body shop for a week. How can a car with 100hp have a mpg rating of 5?!?

Naw, they're more like Miatas. They're small, cuddly, and cute. You might not like them, but they're competition is easily vanquished and they're here to stay, like la cucaracha

Too bad Honda and Toyota disagrees. I think Toyota is planning a hybrid version for all Toyota/Lexus/Scion vehicles in near future (except LF-A). And there were rumors Honda is going all-hybrid with all cars?
