But, People, where are the negatives or possible negatives? A GM electrobile looks nice on paper, but I OWNED five CHEVROLETS--don't ask--and THEY were not what GM, or CONSUMER REPORTS, said they would be.
This led me to forget Pearl Harbor and go NISSAN and SUBARU.

The thing I see still that many of these ECO cars have not considered are that some of us actually have families, 2+ children at various ages who often also enjoy tagging along.

Until these autos can meet my needs I'm still stuck with a family vehicle of along the lines of a Yukon, and it requires either AWD or 4WD.

Another requirement is enough cargo capacity to hold a few days of groceries while 6 passengers are in the vehicle.

We are all travelers

on an everlasting voyage of discovery
