And some people that have had one of those haven't been happy with them.

Anywho, I don't know what opinion to have. All I know, if I were to get a brand new pickup, it would probably be a Maverick. But since I don't need or want a pickup, I guess it doesn't matter what I think on it.

Plug-in hybrids seem pretty neat. So do hybrids. But it does take more thinking as to whether the increased initial price (and possibly later battery replacement, if you keep it for +15 years) actually saves you money or not.

On the other hand, people don't seem to buy cars to save money. People who want to save money might not even buy a car. Cars are big people toys. The bigger they are, the better, apparently.
