Honda Just Won't Learn

 Today when I was in the barbershop, I was reading the March 2012 edition of Automobile, when I stumbled across an article about the Honda Fit EV. For those who don't know what an EV stands for, its an abbreviation for Electric Vehicle. You won't be able to buy the car, just a no purchase option lease. Geez does this sound familiar? It sure does. I saw the wonderful documentary called, Who Killed The Electric Car and it talked about how almost all Electric Vehicles are lease only, screwing over the people who would like to buy one after they become attached to the car. History does seem to repeat itself. In this case I will predict the Honda Fit EV's fate, they will be all bought up and crushed. Remember the Honda FCX Clarity hydrogen fuel cell vehicle? You probably forgot about that by now. Well like the Fit EV, the FCX Clarity is also a lease only deal. This is what annoys me. It's a conspiracy that the car companies know that they won't make money on replacement parts on these alternate fuel vehicles because the cars don't have many moving parts, thus having less parts to get broken and needing to be replaced. Plus the Oil companies are behind the obstruction of Electric cars on the mass consumer marketplace. Face it the price of a barrel of oil keeps going up an up and won't be going down anytime soon. In fact it won't. So electric cars will be the only option when a barrel of oil gets to the price of $500. So listen up Honda, Please sell this to consumers instead of the no purchase option lease, it's getting real old now and people would want to keep it.
