I dont understand how people can think that hybrids and electric cars are more EARTH friendly. Were exactly do they think batteries come from and the power and resources to make them? Plus disposing of the batteries takes even more power and resources. So how are they more economical?

These comments show how stupid some people are.
This Chrysler guy did a good job of explaining how the 2 mode worked.
The fuel economy gain of this hybrid from 13 by a normal Hemi to 19 for the hybfrid in the city is a 30% improvement.

These Hybrids suck! They come with HUGE problems. Lose a lot of power at High Altitudes and major electrical problems. The battery in these also dont keep charge very well. After 50,000miles trany, engine and battery had to be replaced in these. Get a regular Aspen, 4mpg or so isn't the worth the hassle these Hybrids come with.

Absolutely amazing. 7 minutes and 47 seconds of utter NOTHING. This dude has as of yet FAILED to explain what the heck two-mode is and how it works. And to think he's reading from cue cards. Can you imagine how much worse it would have been without them? I'm so pissed right now...
