    Wow, big price increase. Even after they mentioned that they cut the cost of production. I guess they will have to offer rebates to move these with all the new hybrid offerings.
    In an effort to get it available to compete with the Honda Insight, maybe they overpriced it and will be getting it out the door sooner then they would otherwise at small numbers.
