I don't think she'd want to spend $6000 on a $500 car just 'cause it's eco-friendly... and even then, just 'cause it runs on renewable fuel, doesn't mean it's not a smoke belching '82 diesel Merc... perhaps the most notorious diesel car ever, and the one that gave diesel a bad name in America.

I think Lisa's just going to keep her Saab, and deal with the wear and tear it'll get being driven around for work all the time. Maybe in a year or two we'll have the cash so she can get a new AWD Saab 93, and a beater work SUV.
