I haven't seen a deal yet. For the extra 10 grand a hybrid costs over a gas version, I can buy a lot of gasoline...interest free

Which is true, if like 90-95% of bikers you install aftermarket exhaust thus deleting your cats

Another issue, which I also brought up in the Infiniti thread, is that from what I understand nobody is actually selling a hybrid in America for a profit. They are being sold at a (planned for) loss. I don't particularly care if Honda and Toyota want to continue doing this, it doesn't come out of America's treasury. I care greatly when GM decides this is a good strategy, with government support, and taxpayer money. I know it is a revolutionary idea, but how about they try to build a car that actually makes a profit, reguardless of whether it is green as a baby's booger or not?
