i maintain my original stance on these - the batteries are still foul for the environment which really defeats the object. i've had a baby toyota thing (maybe an auris?) in hybrid format as a hire car and not only were the fuel figures naff it was the daftest piece of nonsense i've ever had the misfortune to drive. and i've had a suzuki sj413, so i'm familiar with nonsense
