Kind of off topic, but think of all the law enforcement, fire departments, city, country, state, federal organizations. They often buy domestic vehicles. Now tell me Detroit can't make money selling hybrids to this market.

Nope. Detroit is dead. Have they come close to producing and releasing something exciting in the last few years? EV1 was the closest thing. Then it was killed.
Have you ever watched 'Roger & me?'

The next problem is that a lot of Gov't offices are already buying 'non-domestic' cars like the Prius.

A large majority of the Washington State motorpool are Prii. The Olympia fire chief's has a few US gen. 1 and gen. 2 Prii. The ecology dept. has a few. ORCAA - Olympic Region Clean Air Agency - has a US gen. 2.

You've only driven in Boston, Miami, and the Bay Area, yet you managed to extrapolate that Berkeley drivers are the worst in the entire country?

Of all the places I've been (and that really does include a sizable chunk of the country, and Canada and Europe) the worst drivers I've experienced are in Arizona. But you notice I didn't say that makes them the worst in the country...that would just be asinine.

No no... There isn't a European country or American city or state where can find worse drivers than in Oregon!

I'd rather drive with the French and Italians more than the Oregonians. Oregon drivers are amazing impatient and selfish. "ME ME ME ME... MOVE... Go faster... it's a 25 mph so you should go 50, because all of our roads are 50 mph and that's only how fast we know how to drive! - Oregon.

I've driven in Portland, and they didn't seem any better or worse than your average big city driver. Admittedly, I only drove there once, and that was about 12 years ago, but I was there almost a month so I got a pretty good feel of the place.
