Next project

[msmemory_archive]

OK, on to the next thing. I need a new car. At least, new to me. Candidate makes and models include Toyota (Prius, Corolla, Matrix), Subaru (Forester, Outback), Chevy something, Saturn something, Honda something. Or something else I haven't thought of.

Must have: mpg comparable to Prism (~30), auto trans, CD, excellent acceleration (I do have to drive in Boston), support system convenient to my home, rear window defrost. I expect to drive it for more than 100,000 miles, so reliability is key.

going to hybrids

[hungrytiger]

For me, I'm thinking that the car after next will be a hybrid (we're buying a new car now and expecting that we'll probably have to get another one in +/- 3 years). I'd consider one now, but the only models on the market are still compacts. The car mag buzz is that hybrid models of the mid-size cars like the Honda Accord or Toyota Camry are expected in about two years.
