4. That is an interesting Fortune article you cited

I had not read that. I had no idea the Nissan taxi plan was going up in flames. It struck me as strange that any jurisdiction would build a plan that called for only one qualified supplier.

Yes, I really wish Subaru were much farther along. We have owned several Subarus before we switched to Priuses. It is disappointing that after all this time, their first hybrid would be so unimpressive. It is hard to go back to around 30 MPG when you have been getting about 45. I understand that the Subaru vehicle is designed for more utility and less fuel economy, but it really should do better than that at this stage of vehicle evolution.
