The yellow car is a Corbin Sparrow which are now made by Myers Motors NmG and yes there was a custom gold Sparrow that made an appearance in Mike Myers(not sure if related) movie: Austin Powers, "Goldmember".

Very true indeed. I forced myself to learn almost all maintenance and repair needs of my cars by reading repair handbooks because of the reasons you said and the crooked mechanics who I have learned will rip you off at the first opportunity.

gas is at its cheapest since 2001 at 1.71 now. Why? the economy is bad so gas is lowered so that people can go out and spend more money. Thats how much control the government have on gas prices.

Neither GM nor any other legacy auto manufacturer will build an EV. As for EVs, Legacy auto companies won't build them because EVs never need service. Look how big the service department is at every car dealer, and your out-of-wallet experience there. Much revenue at risk. They don't make money selling cars. They make money on service, like a printer company that makes money selling ink cartridges.

a hybrid is nothing more than a car mocking up the problem just like catalytic converters mock up the pollution problem. In other words, it still suks, just not as much...

Don't know from personal experience, but I've been told that in the U.S. people drive a LOT more miles than those in Europe. And, this is not just because Americans like to drive more but because they have to. This could explain why people in the UK are not so active in a search to obtain an alternative way to travel/drive.

You know, at $11 a gallon you'd think the British would be clamoring for EVs.Well, they're not.This does not bode well for the US.It means that the general public are too apathetic to bother with much more than looking for cars that get better mpg.Nuts to that. I want MPC.

Most of the electric vehicles in the slideshow are normal cars & trucks that have been converted to electric. You can convert almost any manual transmission car or truck for less than $10,000 using all new parts. It can be done for much less than that with used parts. So, they are much cheaper than any new hybrid. Of course, if you need to drive hundreds of miles a day on the freeway, a Prius (50MPG) is a better choice. Hybrid SUVs are not very good for efficiency, most get less than 30MPG.
