CNET's Martin LaMonica Test Drives all-electric Mini Vs. Ford Fusion Hybrid

In two extensive, highly detailed videos, CNET's Martin LaMonica compares the MINI E and the  Ford Fusion Hybrid .  Worth the watch. More opinion after the jump... [source: cbsnews.com].

I watched these two videos as objhectively as possible... As you probably can imagine, I'm totally a fan of the MINI, and Fords? Well, not so much.  Yet I did walk away (as they say) far more educated about both cars, as well as the future of electric/hybrid/ "alternative fuel" vehicles.  And well, that's what it's all about right?
