The thing that really frustrates me is that I can't buy the car I want. I would like a successor to my Chevy Volt but it's become very difficult to find a compact hybrid hatchback in the States. It's basically Prius Prime or bust, and the Prius is not nearly as fun to drive as the Volt.

Yeah. I am getting an Integra.

It's the only decent hatchback that is sporty that's left. And it's not cheap either.

The civic hybrid is really good, it just came out. Much better than the Prius. But there is very limited selection.

Yes, Civic hybrid looks good. Too bad no plug-in option for it :( The discontinued Honda Clarity plug-in might be a used option, but it's kind of frumpy to be honest.
