I drive a 2000 Hyundai Tiburon, a nice, sporty 28-30+ MPG hatchback. For years, my car was a motorcycle, a better commuting vehicle as far as I was concerned. But when I started taking the train to work, I sold the bike (which, having a very polluting power plant as most bikes do, Harleys included, did not bother me too much).

Right now the 10-year-old shark is running great, so I'm hoping I can get it to last long enough to see the real next generation of cars on the roads (IOW, beyond the "first-gen electric-assisted gas engine" barely-hybrids of today and into full electrics, next-gen hybrids, new configurations like the Persu, etc).
