TeCKis300 I read about the RAV4 EV, but the $49K price tag was a bit crazy! If I am reading you correctly you received $10k federal and $10k toyota rebates for a total of $20k in rebates and a purchase price of $29k out the door with 0% finacing? Now that is certainly an option.

I have been driving some friends Prius’ and went to the car lots this past weekend. Drove the Jetta TDI, but yes overall cost to drive doesn’t make sense given the higher cost of diesel. I have heard from several that the maintenance costs on Audi is high, but I do like the Audi A3 wagon, but they no longer make them and the dealership was out. Supposedly they will be returning in the near future as a hybrid, that should be interesting!

The Ford Escape no longer comes in a hybrid.

Any more info on the RAV4 EV would be greatly appreciated.
