has any one heard of the Z600 ?

apparently the car gets 113 mpg. if that car in 1970 got 113 mpg then why can we only get 47mpg out of a hybrid? any comments? also i think i may have inserted the image wrong

because its 5 times smaller than cars today and it has a really puny engine that probably tops out at 50mph.

back in 88 the honda crx hf was getting about 47mpg and the 92-95 civic vx's were reporting up to 56mpg on hwy and 47mpg in city. and these are both full gasoline engines, nothing special to them. nothing like the hybrids of today. the biggest problem of the hybrid crap is weight. all cars keep weighing more and more each year because of safety standards.

We have one of those in very good condition at Frank Leta Honda. I believe it was Mr. Leta's wife car originally. Youshould go check it out, its TINY, and i think it rolls on 12"s.

it was a very small car it only weighed 1126 lbs with a 2 cylinder engine putting out 31- 36 horse power i think it could hit at least 60 mph

it all comes down to weight. modern cars are hosses. Look at the HFs and the VXs, they were almost stripped to save weight. the hybrids have power everything, controls on the steering wheel, some even have navigation. the new civic hybrid is the heaviest Civic out now and most likely the heaviest civic ever. thats f'ing gay.
