I did read about Honda vs Toyota. The system used in the Insight is pretty slick. I guess mostly I was just commenting on how new cars, especially FANCY new-fangled cars are not ones that I would mess around/tinker with. Nor would I be able to afford them.

I wish I could remember the name of the particular book. It was something with a simple name, like "The Electric Car" or something like that. Had a little green electric car on the cover.
