I Know Where You Can Park That Hybrid!

Hey it's so awesome that all these people are rushing out to pay up to $23,770 for a Toyota Prius and comparable 'hybrids' to save fuel when the 1991 GEO Metro was getting similar mileage while listing at about 9k! Thanks to CNN's Mallory Simon for pointing out this scam to the general misinformed public. Apparently the Metro sub-compact is making a comeback in the used market, and there's no doubt why.

The sad thing is all the people who, after being brainwashed by Al Gore, rushed out to save the world with their pricey hybrids. Guess you shoulda looked 'old school' first! So what exactly is the benefit of hybrids? emissions alone? Can't we just mod better emissions on the old subcompacts? With the big oiltards screwing us over for insane profits I'm starting to wonder where that old 97 honda civic hatchback went to?

PS: I'm guessing they didn't run the mileage on this metro:
