I saw a new Prius yesterday, and it looks great! I like the small fins at the rear. Not in my budget, but an electric is a viable choice today for many. | ||

I have a Toyota Hylander Hybrid-2016-Love this car!We need better battery technology to make the electric car more comptetive to gas ones.Too small and not enough range-and charge times too long. | ||

Electric cars have actually been around for many years. The one below is a 1905 model on display at the N.C. Transportation Museum.

I can't imagine parts for a Crown Vic/Marquis becoming scarce anytime soon. They were fleet cars primarily and many are still in service with law enforcement agencies. Although my city's police department is gradually replacing their Crown Vics with Taurus-based Interceptors, the majority of its fleet are still Crown Vics. They're very rugged, dependable cars and they aren't going to completely fade away anytime soon.

I drive a 2004 Prius Hybrid and couldn't be happier! It easily gets 45mpg, 50ish if I'm careful! Actually surprisingly quick for having a 1.5 liter engine, step on the gas and it goes! Bought it with 174,000 miles in April and I'm at 186,000 now, the only thing I've done to it is a couple oil changes. Surprisingly comfortable and roomy, took a little getting used to, especially when it shuts off while driving or quits after coming to a stop light, but give it gas and off it goes! Does act differently than a traditional gas car, between the stopping and starting and the CVT transmission that never shifts, but aside from that, it drives like any other vehicle, only using far less gas! Usually takes $15 or so to fill up and I can usually go a week or so on a tank. If I wear it out, I'll definitely buy another Prius.
