Speaking of the Prius...what sort of Hybrids are just over the crest?

The Accord and Escape is out, an Altima Hybrid is supposed to be coming and GM says they're going to release hybrid versions of their pickups...Anything else?

Well I did go to Berkeley ;)

If I got a Prius, I might end up sticking leather seats in it. Also a huge exhaust

Since you live in the Berkeley area, I'd recommend you buy one of the Toyota hybrids that'll be out by then, otherwise you'll find a traditional ICE car defaced everytime you park it in a public area. ;)

Then get this. :)
Ha ha :D

My parents had one of those when I was growing up (old version of course)...Ah the memories.

This next vehicle of mine will be more grown up, but I still think I'm years away from being a van person :)

I'll probably live in the City when I go back to California, so I could get away with something hippie, something pretentious, or something quirky :)

Ugggh...I work with Hummers everyday and if I could drop them over a cliff, I would. I've never understood how people who aren't being forced, could be happy driving one. HMWVV's = garbage[/rant]

Me neither. I don't get the point of these big SUV's. It's like driving a U-Haul everywhere.

Family and friends have had mixed experiences w/BMW's. I think if I were to go in that direction, I'd get a Merc
