    If you put it in EV mode and are willing to wait a long time. Under normal operation it will fire up the ICE for speeds above 65, I think. It was a big deal when they first started shipping that the ICE can actually couple right to the drive train, sorta killing the whole series hybrid claim.

    I am not knocking it only hoping for more, still better than my insight.

    You are telling me if I walked in and offered cash on the barrel head $1000 less than sticker they would turn me away? I find that hard to believe.

    $15k-20k is pretty much the bottom of the new car market. What can you get below that? Try to remember that actually finding a base model car is near impossible. Car dealers make it near impossible by not listing a huge amount of inventory or listing it in a misleading way.

    Considering it can't travel at highway speeds without powering the ICE I think you are exaggerating. If they either made it cheaper or look better than the cruze it might sell better. Paying $40k for a $17k car is not appealing to many folks.

    Their mistake? The price has gone up 4X since april. $40 in stock in April would be $160 now. The chevy volt looks cheap.

    If the price was lower I would have one already. The range is fine, but the price is just too high for a little hatchback. I ended up getting an insight, but I would love a leaf.

    The S is a nice looking car. What do you not like about it?

    The roadster was just an Elise.

    Me personally I want a utilitarian vehicle. A small hatchback. I give not a single solitary fuck what it looks like, I don't spend my time staring at my car in the driveway.

    Facts do not back you up. The cases you mention are famous simply because they are so rare and so far outside the norm.

    Also the ethos is "If it feels good, and harms no one else, I am OK with it. As it should be. What you call vices, are likely victimless and should not be seen as such. If you want to invent crimes and immoralities then of course you can claim those are on the rise.

    Automatic patching should be done by the OS package management not by the game itself. Clearly years of windows use has prevented you from learning this. Same with the ability to get games on any machine.

    I am not mad at the DMV at all, that makes sense. DRM does not make sense. It only hurts honest buyers.

    I totally agree, but these folks are way too myopic to understand that. They think only of the now, the immediate. This is the same reason they oppose healthcare reform. It is clear that anyone paying for healthcare is paying for the "free" care in the ER and those who skip out on the bill. Yet, they can't see that because it is one step removed from them.
      The suburban town I live in just had every cop outside my place because someone was stabbed in the city and then drove out into suburbia to get assistance. My understanding is this victim knew he would get faster assistance by doing that then by calling the city police and ambulance.
