[quote=flu][quote=meadandale]It was bad enough paying $500/month for my F150. I just can’t see paying $1000-1500/month for a car payment. These same people probably have iphones with a $100/month phone bill and yet “can’t afford” health insurance.[/quote]
Hijack….Note to self. If I need someone to haul something, ping meadandale :)[/quote]
LOL, that’s why I don’t have a prius…need to be able to make trips to the dump and haul stuff home from HD and Lowes 😀

Now there’s a market opportunity — an electric truck. Those trips to the dump/home depot/lowe’s are usually pretty short. Also the grocery store/dropping kids off/etc… It could be like one of those little box vans you see in Asia, big enough to haul a lot of crap but not so big that you can’t park it. Like A Nissan Leaf but with maybe half the range and twice the hauling capacity.
I’ll bet an Asian automaker is already working on that for urban US markets…
