What would have been a good EcoModder April Fool's joke?
I tried to get Tim to post a thread to the effect of:
Honda's 3rd gen Insight plans revealed:
- an affordable, almost VW XL1 competitor
- aluminum construction with some crabon fliber
- 0.8L, mid engine (for best aero and most entertaining handling: "midship entertainment!")
- 0.21 Cd.
- Lithium pack
- 86 mpg combined (or something semi-believable)
With the recent demise of the 2nd gen Insight, it seemed plausible.

When I was a kid, we had to obey the "no jokes past noon" rule on April Fool's.  |

HAHA! That's so funny. Good one.
I've actually seen a similar joke played on another forum.
Next year....

I was thinking something more like...
Darin trades his Metros for a dodge viper...

I would have been sorely disappointed if I felt that Honda was redeeming its hybrid line only to realize that it was a joke.

Yeah, that one made me a little bit sad after I wrote it. It could almost be true.
