I'm very reluctant about getting a gas burning automobile. I bought the Gz as a faster to way to get places when not on the bicycle.

It's going to be hard for me to justify $50 tanks of gas, not to mention the extra pollution that I'll be spitting out at every red light. I did a lot of searching for an electric car, or at least something a little more alternative, but it's just not in my price range. The cheapest thing that I came across was a $6,000 chinese electric car that is identical to the SMART. Too bad they have crap chinese batteries and only seat 2 people. It's difficult to find something like that to fit all of us.

Next year Honda is going to come out with a new Insight. It's expected to be about $18,000. It's still pricey, but it's good to see a hybrid under $20,000! We were planning on trading in this year, but we decided to wait one more year when we found out about the new Insight. The new Insight isn't like the old one - the old one was a two-door car, this will be a four-door hatchback hybrid :-)
