Whatever happened to the hybrid?

Hybrids make sense for someone like George who does a lot of city driving. For us not quite as much.

We thought about this, but for a little run-around we figured it was cheaper to just by an affordable small car which gets pretty decent gas mileage anyway.
I was only joking

With your commute, probably right. But for city dwellers or for guys in close-in suburbs? Might work really well.

And...
Told you my son was going to give me one of these the other day, complete with 5-speed manual and ragtop...
Told him to keep his pregnant rollerskate...

Little bugger has a turbo on its washing machine motor. When you slap it from fifth to third and stomp it, and the turbo kicks, the torque steer would literally jack that little bugger to the right. Push it and it could be downright, go-kart scary.
Too old for that shit.
Kids know I'd like to have an old Miata, preferably British Racing Green...

No, for my commute we bought a Subaru Impreza, not a tiny car, but not a gas guzzling monstrosity either. Mrs. Phibes got the little Hyundai.

My problem is most stuff made in the U. S. today, sucks.
My 2011 GMC? Never been in the shop for repair. Ever. 128,000 miles. 4.8L small block, 4 speed automatic. Old skool stuff.
New ones with the base turbo four and ten speed won't make a 100,000 miles without something going BOING!

Do any US car makers make sedans anymore ?
