If you were looking for the most eco friendly way to drive around, you should be considering Mitsubishis new hybrid car i-MiEV. It is actually an electric car and would prove to be a great competition to rivals like Honda and Toyota though it is priced much higher. It can be charged from a regular home socket of 200 volts and needs to be charged for 7 hours.

If you do so, it will run for about 160 kilometres and will cost $47,560. The price could be a major hurdle for many but they intend to decrease the price as it would be mass manufactured at a later stage. There isn’t much technical information available about the i-MiEV but it surely seems like a great idea if you can afford.

Mitsubishi has become an eye sore for many who wanted to buy their 65-inch LaserVue HDTV but are unable to, due to its price. As far as I m concerned, I am very sure that LaserVue HDTV deserves the price it is asking for. Having personally compared it to other brands offering same product; I would say the price is fair. Coming for less than $7,000, and with the quality guarantee of Mitsubishi, I would not have hesitated to buy it had I the money and need for it.
