Earth Friendly? I love it for the Gadget Factor!
A few weeks back while walking around in the Departures lounge at Brussels Airport, I passed one of those car exhibits that manufacturers put up. A car in a funny position with displays and information around it, actually. I was intrigued by the whole 'hybrid' thing that was coming up on the displays, so I stood and watched. Became interested. Left there 25 minutes later convinced to look into this further.
Suffice it to say I'm hell-bent on one of them hybrids, not even so much for the fuel efficiency thing as for the gadget factor! It's all electronic, everything computer-controlled and it's really, really quiet. Given the fact that my previous car fetish would have been the Mini Cooper S (some 200 horse-power in a small package, fuel consumption irrelevant)... well, I don't know what that says about me but this is it.
