Can you believe that the civic hybrid beats the smart car? Considering how small and useless the smart car is..

Maybe that's why the smart car is so much cheaper than the Civic hybrid.

who needs the hybrid anyways?

Just get the Civic NGV that uses compressed natural gas. It doesnt get better mileage then the hybrid but it costs half as much to fill up. So essentially its cheaper overall.

natural gas burns much more efficiently in the engine too!
