Most cars weight more this side of the pond because we have tougher safety and emissions regulations. Plus the American desire for bigger engines. Or is is just all a conspiracy?

This is no comparison of hybrid technology with that of convential cars. Make the Accord no bigger than an Insight, just as bog-slow as an Insight, and subsidise its developement and production to the degree that the government did the Insight. Then you have a meaningful comparison. But wait, there aren't any convential vehicles like that... and that may well change as the price of fuel continues to spiral upward. Technically, there are always many ways to seperate a feline from its skin.

Now your sounding like a Detroit Pundit. You make it seem like buying a hybrid is only hurting us. Let me guess, if we all bought just smaller normal cars and American at that we would be doing a better choice as to give GM, Ford, etc a chance to come out with better technologies?
