Title: Hybrid / electric cars
Post by: Slapper on February 18, 2015, 07:07:45 PM: I'm thinking about getting me one. I'll most likely have to drive to work in about a month, and it'll be 60-70 miles per day, so I'm thinking about a hybrid (Prius) or a Fiat (500e).

Any opinions?

Buy a car that weighs around 3000lbs or more so it won`t beat you to death.

Prius weight is at least 3072 lbs:

Avoid FIAT, they have zero experience with hybrids or electrics, and their cars still aren't in the same league as quality 2nd hands Japanese stuff, mazda, toyota, honda and subaru

I don't like Japs for their mass slaughter of dolphins whales and their plundering of whereever they fish, plus their lies about their genocides in WWII, but can't deny that 2nd hand some of their cars are very good quality/reliability and value

Driving range is still a major problem I think...new version will get 200 miles, well in theory, but it's moving in the right direction

Post by: oldtimer1 on February 19, 2015, 06:18:10 AM: True, Nissan claims 100 mile range and the EPA says something like 78. It doesn't have the range of a Tesla but it doesn't have the cost either.

America's own Henry Ford was a well known nazi sympathizer, I believe he even received gifts from hitler and company ;D

Before the war there were quite a few hitler admirers in Europe too. Appeasement lunatics, about the same retards that are now trying to "negotiate" with Putin...

(Germany has apologized many times for all WWII cruelty, and has paid hundreds of billions of Deutschmarks/euros in compensation. But Japan? Zero. They still lie and cheat)
