Uh...

Does it pay to have anything in NY?

Well my new 2 day old car just got whacked while parked at Macy's. It does not pay to have a nice car in NY.

Well, a large prewar apartment on the Upper West Side, definitely yes.

Frank, sorry to hear that. What happened ??? Hit and run?

We think it was side swiped by a truck making a turn. I be he never knew he hit us.

I have to say this car is so cool with all the energy it saves and all the different displays on what is been used. My wife at first was not thrilled but now she loves it as does my son. Neither thought of buying a hybrid never mind a plug in hybrid

No offence, but 100 MPG number seems to be the marketing gimmick. Practically it is 44/42 MPG, this is how it is rated by EPA. That's what you get if you just put gasoline in it. This is also pretty good, but not quite 100 MPG. Fuel economy info for Ford Fusion Energi

That's terrible! Hopefully there wasn't TOO much damage. This is just ONE reason I have sworn to never buy brand new. I always buy cars that are either a couple years old or that have very little life expectancy that I can run into the ground.

Now you got me interested in something like this. Have you done any analysis on what the electricity costs would be in your area? I wonder how cost effective they are.

Not yet but I feel the link Jerry posted is close enough

I've avoided the hybrids and instead went for the economy class gas. My past few cars have been in the 40 mpg range, but the next car will not sacrifice room for mpg.
