I agree. They would fly off the show room floor. The scooters sound like fun, but I cannot see hauling anything much on them. They are probably only good for a short commute and people often nearly hit my car, a black VW, so I can’t imagine them paying attention to something smaller.

June 27, 2008 at 10:05 AM #229416anParticipantI hope you all know there are more hybrid cars out there than just the Prius. Civic, Camry, RX400h, GS400h, LS600h, Altima, and Accord comes to mind. There are more to come as well in the next few years. Those cars are already flying off the show room floor, so I don’t know what you guys are talking about. Tesla is a $100k sport car. Aecetia, people will notice scooters if they’re riding a scooter or small cars themselves. I’ve also seen some very innovative way to maximize the use of a scooter in 3rd world countries :-).

People will live closer to work and the city. We will use oil/fossel fuels more efficinetly and will reduce our Carbon footprints on a nationwide scale.
Plus I believe this will self correct in some aspects as I think that oil is being traded as an inflation hedge much more than a commodity with supply and demand issues. When the stock markets stop sucking and the dollar gains some semblance of stability, oil will trend down, atleast to a point where demand isnt falling anymore. Maybe 2011?
When that finally happens, advances like plug in hybrids which require no new major investments in infrastructure and offer significant fuel savings (I personally would fill up like 5X a year instead of about every 3 weeks) will mean US demand will be far below the previous levels seen before 2008.June 27, 2008 at 10:35 AM #229566DWCAPParticipantWhile this is doing terrible damage to our economy and the general psychie of the average US consumer, I see it as a good thing in the long term.
