    Hi all -

    Thought this was an interesting article, as it talks about the old Geo Metros now selling on ebay for close to their price new. It says not to discount the Generation 1 Prius as an alternative.

    Huh. This is the second article I saw posted today that gives the Geo Metro its props. I used to have one, it was a damn good car. Not as good as the Prius (the seats in the Metro aren't nearly as comfy as the Prius seats), but great mileage.

    Great mileage yes, and being able to roll down the passenger window without leaning over at all is also a good feature as it saves on power windows!:D
