- This is gonna sell huge if they actually try to sell them. - spamlet Nov 21, 13:56 4
  - My only thing with these hybrids is that a big appeal to full electric is the 90% reduction in maintenance - Reagen Nov 21, 14:26 3

      - yeah, 28k vs 50k is an easier thing to sell - Reagen Nov 21, 15:53 1
