Good! If EV's and all this other alternative energy is so great then we shouldn't need government tax credits for them. Let the market play itself out and determine what WE need and not be forced down our throats. After renting the Camry for a month this summer I'm 100% on board with hybrids. Not that I'm against full EV's, I think they have their place for certain people just not everyone. I know my next vehicle with more than likely be a hybrid as it's the best of both worlds.

Personally I think Ford really messed up and put all their eggs into one basket trying to go full EV. That and getting rid of their passenger car lineup was a huge mistake. Not everyone wasn't a truck or SUV especially since the price of these are getting way out of hand now. Make a smaller to mid size hybrid car that's affordable and people will buy them. Look at Kia/Hyundai and they sell a good amount of cars still and offer a 10/100K warranty with them.
