It's funny, I never actually hated the high mpg hybrids. They are reasonable pieces of efficiency engineering with good CD, smaller engines, regen braking, built in pulse and glide, etc. Driven like a perfect moron, you can make anything (i.e. a metro) get 15mpg. The greenwashed tanks are what bug me the most though, OMGIDONTWEIGH10000000POUNDSIMGOINGTODIE!!!

You find a windshield for that insight?
