Revenge of the movie theatre

I just saw a PBS clip about "Revenge of the Electric Car" over my Internet connection. My next thought was, "I have to see this". Turns out rather than being able to watch it over the Internet, I have to join an email campaign to get the film makers to presumably send a physical copy of their film to a physical place where I need to get in my gas powered car to go so it. Wow, really?!?

When are the cars which run on irony going to be available on the market?

Ford vs. Honda: Which should I buy?

I'm coming up on the end of the service life of an automobile we've been driving for the last five years or so. I've been looking at replacing it with either a Honda Fit, or the updated Ford Fiesta. Any input folks feel inclined to share regarding either of these cars is appreciated.

As an aside, I've been considering whether a hybrid, or even a full electric might finally be an acceptable alternative. Being the price sensitive type, I refuse to pay a premium for trading performance in exchange for economy. So, any input from value shoppers is greatly appreciated. (Clarification: "value", not "cheap" ...for example, I'm still replacing items purchased from walmart which have failed long before their service life should have been up.)
