I'd rather have the tax break. WIthout it, the person buying the sports car might just buy a different, non-hybrid model. I'd much rather encourage folks to buy them, with the hopes that they'll eventually replace all-gas models as they become more popular. At that point, we can drop the tax breaks.

  Heh. Here you get tax breaks and/or subsidized, get to drive in the taxi/bus lanes, plus you get to go through the tolls at a reduced cost (or maybe free). It is a really convenient thing, honestly. As far as I know, they have planned phase-outs to some of this and I'd expect more of the same. After all, electric car ownership is already pretty high (I'm in Norway) and eventually they'll need the tax revenue. For now, though, I'm fully supportive of these sorts of incentives if for nothing else than smog reduction.
