Boo! Today my team won our company’s annual pumpkin carving contest! woot woot!

Today, at the paris auto show, Honda unveiled it’s redesigned “mild” hybrid Insight. Expected to get over 45mpg (5.2 L/100Km) and cost about USD$5000 less than the average USD$26,000 price of a Toyota Prius, I expect it will only ensure that American car companies continue to lose market share to their Japanese competition. While Ford continues to produce new vehicles like the Flex (and doesn’t even post fuel consumption estimates on its web site), and is producing a “fuel efficient” hybrid Cadillac Escalade that gets a whole 20 city /21 highway mpg (11.8 city / 11.2 highway L/100Km) with a price tag of over USD$72,000, it’s no wonder!
