no mention of Tesla's Supercharger perk? Free quick charging at one of Tesla's stations. Free energy is a good perk.

The D186 is a future classic. The ones that survive will be, that is. My parents had a first gen Taurus wagon and despite the mechanical issues it was a really useful car, and I find myself wishing for one every now and again.

My wife owned one before I met her. Ever been on a multi-state road trip where your car alarm starts going off randomly and continuously?

There are a couple on Fuelly showing 16-17mpg. For whatever that's worth.

The crazy thing is, it's hardly a smug car anymore. It's mainstream - people are buying them because they make sense. I've seen Romney/Ryan sticker'd Prii.
