<I thought this was a Lexus "HYBRID" site...why is there so much nasty negative talk about this car? Just keep driving your gas only car and be happy..> No hate from me at all dude, just conversation. i am glad you enjoy your contribution to the environment and your car. i was comparing your situation to the situation of many American's who do not live in Southern California.
<With the electric vehicle... I have the station at my school parking lot...and the cars go a lot further than 40 miles...what they mean is that they can go 40 miles before the gas engine has to "Help"..now do you see where you are not understanding?> i did understand that in the first place, it is simply my opinion that i am not going to rearrange my life to purchase this car, and i also understand it is not a hybrid, however it is part of the environmental vehicle trend. my point was, i feel it is "overhyped" for many people in America. Not so perhaps for SoCal and that is fine. Do you think you are in the majority or the minority for having an electric car station in your employers parking lot?
<So for me, I CAN go anywhere pretty much without the gas engine to kick on.....You know that the electric car HAS a small gas engine as well, right? It's the opposite of my hybrid.... In a couple more years, you'll be able to go 100 miles before the gas turns on to help> That is right, in a couple of years... and many, many more years for the rest of America.
i was really just attempting to offer an opinion from someone in the Midwest.
