Hybrids may make sense to many, but they certainly are not the only route to low total cost of ownership, especially important to those who choose-need to focus their financial resources elsewhere.
I would seriously look at an Insight, but prefer my project in my garage, which could end up being gas, electric, or a combination of either-both.
I find it somewhat interesting that the hybrid postions are almost universally supported by 1st gen Insight examples and even with that minuscule percentage of the world (17k versus several hundred million) vehicle population the CVT versions are not considered viable.
And the rebuilt-recycled battery packs aren't lasting nearly as long as the originals. Weren't they supposed to last 30 years. Makes my $28 pick and pull battery seem like
chicken feed.
