…well almost.

This is the Karma plug-in hybrid. It’s fast, its beautiful, and it will go 50 miles before burning a drop of fuel. The one feature that I could do without is the $80,000 sticker price.

Maybe if I planned an eco-friendly mid-life crisis…

Nah. I’ll wait for others to pay for the R&D that went into this car and then purchase the $30,000 Honda Accord plug-in that will follow in 3 or 4 years.

On the other hand, that Accord probably won’t go 0-60 in 6 seconds. Sigh.
