Yeah, me too. For me the problem is no one vehicle really offers a compelling package. As I wrote on the previous page I really really really want to love the Ford Maverick, but cost has scared me off; the other thing that soured me a bit is no plug-in hybrid with all-wheel-drive. I could have maybe justified the additional cost to myself if it was a plug-in with AWD, but such as it is... eh, I just can't do it.

The other great issue, as you allude to, is the profound lack of availability of plug-in hybrids in Alberta in general. You wouldn't know some of the hybrids nominally built by the manufacturers actually even exist in the real world. Might as well be written off as myth at this point.
