[AMPONTAN] Clarkson on the Honda Insight hybrid « AMPONTAN: Where all news comes at second-hand, where all the testimony is uncertain, men cease to respond to truths, and respond simply to opinions. The environment in which they act is not the realities themselves, but the pseudo-environment of reports, rumors, and guesses.

[MotorMouths.com Blog] MotorMouths.com Blog » Honda's Insight Takes a Hit: Jeremy Clarkson, England’s best-known car critic (his rants and raves appear in the Times of London and on TV’s TopGear) is an unrepentant “petrolhead” who believes global warming is bunk and that hybrids are “designed solely to milk the guilt genes of the smug and the foolish.”
Ace of Spades HQ: 28 Some of the things people neglect to mention when discussing hybrid cars--repair costs, the cost of manufacturing and replacing batteries, the danger of electrocution during an accident, disposal of said batteries etc. Also, if the all electric car really takes off, who's up for the major brownouts that are sure to occur when everyone decides to charge their vehichles simultaneously?
[earthsmart consumer's blog] Are Hybrid Cars Worth it?: Until October I felt smug driving my gas sipper. Some have tried to make me feel foolish for my vehicle of choice as gas prices went down. In spite of the many articles over the past six months about how financially unwise it is now to buy a hybrid, I still feel smug and smitten about my car. The argument goes that the extra money you pay for a hybrid vehicle does not give you a reasonable payback period. Since when do Americans care about a payback period on a car?!?

[Autoblog] GM pledges to use plug-in hybrid tech in only one brand: As to the point if it is better to launch the plug-in as a Chevy or Cadillac rather than making Saturn a hybrid/plug-in only brand is another debate. Some will say that it does not make sense since eventually most cars including Chevy and Buick will become hybrids and plug-ins while others will say that a dedicated "green brand" will bring extra sales from those that would only buy a hybrid that has the distinctive look of a hybrid (Prius, Insight) in other to show-off green credentials.

[BBC Blog Network] BBC - Nick Bryant's Australia: Australia's underwhelming capital: Nightlife and restaurants are quite spread out so new visitors may feel like nothing is happening but locals know where and how to have a good night out - and they are certainly nowhere near the daytime tourist spots (Parli house, Museum, Galleries etc) keeping these spots tidy for visitors. We are lucky to have more restaurants and cafes per capita than any other city in Australia due, in part, to a fairly large percentage of our population being 20-30something public servants and students.
[drive blog] drive blog: Do performance car buyers care about fuel efficiency?: A Performance car needs a few compulsory basics, 0-100kmh in the low 5's or under, and a top speed in excess of 270km/h for starters, secondly no performance car should be FWD, putting down all that HP and torque on the same tyres that are in charge of steering the car in plain silly and highlights the basic intention on what the primary function of the car was designated to be and with the Golf Gti its just another hot hatch constructed from a basic A-B appliance!
[The Housing Bubble Blog] The Housing Bubble Blog » Bits Bucket For March 31, 2009: Many (IMO the foolish ones) believe that market prices for these MBS are too low - that they will rebound at some point in the not-too-distant future, and M2M rules as existing pose a bankruptcy risk to the companies holding these securities. So even though prices may rise in the future it doesn’t matter - just the act of marking these down in the short term would bankrupt the company before they have a chance to reap the expected rebound in the future.
