Car & Driver Magazine did a study a few years back and came up with a study of all the Hybrids, econoboxes and such and concluded that a Diesel Hybrid had the least amount of total impact on the environment. But for me a hybrid doesn't make much sense, I live out in the sticks and days like today where right now it's a balmy -8 degrees F with 20mph wind gusts and a foot and a half of snow blowing and drifting I'll drive the Explorer. The little Ford Aspire would end up in a ditch somewhere, they don't plow too much around here. If that car were replaced by a Pirus, it would be parked as well. I don't feel like freezing to death today anyway. I'd like to see someone come out with a very small 2 or 3 cylinder diesel or gas commuter car. More basic transportation like the Chevy Sprint was. Or back in the day like my old Datsun 1200. No air, no power steering, No automatic transmission, no power windows, just give it enough power to push it 65 mph. That's all you need, or me anyway
