The whole plan going up in flames has been unreported IMO but I understand why it is somewhat of an embarrassment to NYC.

In regards to Subaru's I have owned two. The first was a 1996 Subaru Legacy which I just got rid of two years ago, it was funny because that car got 26 MPG and when I got my new 2012 Legacy the marketing said it should get about 33 MPG but in reality I get about 30. For me getting 45 MPG would be insane... I really love the reliability so it works for me but only my next purchase I will consider MPG more seriously.

I believe Nissan said a hybrid is in the works? Agschmid Dec 2013 #1

One would hope so, but Nissan is behind the market on Hybrids BlueStreak Dec 2013 #2

Yes they are behind, unfortunately so is the car company I buy from. Agschmid Dec 2013 #3
