I seem to recall 78 HP as the figure. If the EV1 would have been a sedan instead of a SUV, 78 HP probably would have been more acceptable.

Sorry... I got it confused in my mind with the Rav4 EV, which was a compact SUV.

There's REALLY no need to get nasty when someone makes an honest mistake. But if you like, I'll be happy to treat YOU with contempt the next time YOU get something mixed up.

Thanks. I appreciate your CONSTRUCTIVE correction. I guess I've never seen a picture of a GM EV1 then. I always imagined it being a compact SUV like the RAV4 EV. Maybe the picture I saw was some sort of concept vehicle that never made the cut.

I was trying to lighten up things by saying the Insight sort of looks like the EV1 with no rear end - hope nobody took it differently.
