What's a good hybrid car to buy? I'm looking at buying a new car and a hybrid car (electricity + petrol) I have in mind. The only one I know of is Toyota Prius. Is it any good? I've driven a couple of Toyota's before and don't particularly like or dislike the make. I like something that accelerates instantly and brakes instantly ie. obedient, makes sharp turns smoothly, and is efficient in terms of fuel consumption. Any particular hybrid car fits this description? (and preferrably not too expensive) Thanks.
Will Legislatures pass legislation this year that will encourage us to buy hybrid cars? Will it become affordable to purchase a plug-in hybrid car through sales and income tax rebates and credits? Wouldn't this be the moral way to encourage Americans to conserve energy and get greener? Wouldn't this be in our National Security interest? Wouldn't this be a better society? Most materials can be recycled. I expect most batteries are also. If we pass legislation that can reduce the shock of the expense to buy these more expensive vehicles, people will begin to buy them and the price will come down drastically! I think that is what we want!
Where can I buy solar pannels for my electric/hybrid car? Where can I buy some sollar pannels to put on the roof or on the hood of a car? The car I have right now, is a total junk. It's a gas and it's totally sluggish, plus it's old so it smells like shit. I'm seriously thinking about buying an electric vehicle or a used hybrid so I can save up on some money. I'm totally broke and I'm unemployed most of the time. But I have ten or so grand I can spend from credit if I can put it into something as a callateral that I can show to the bank, which an electric or hybrid hevicle is perfect because it barely depreciated or at least depreciates a lot less that ICE cars. Plus me being broke doesn't help at all with the gass prices, I can berely afford to drive at all with a car, but I can have an electric vehicle as long as it has some extra solar pannels and some extra batteries, which is ok for me in terms of finances because they will be covered by the low interest loan, easy money.
Is it possible to buy a hybrid or electric conversion kit for a conventional gasoline engine car? I was thinking about buying a bmw 3 series sedan but the only thing holding me back is the fuel mileage it gets. I started looking into conversion kits that can turn a car into a hybrid or electric car. I couldn't find any specific kits so I don't know if the technology is out yet. Could someone please tell me if it is those kits are out there. Please list as much info as possible!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks
How to get people to buy Hybrid cars? Take the following into consideration.... How are you going to legislate this in a free country addicted to cars? Also can the auto manufacturers actually build that many hybrids? Also hybrids require large battery cells, what about their disposal later? Also, not every hybrid does a good job on gas mileage?
Which hybrid car would you buy?Toyota Camry or Nissan Altima? I am looking to buy a midsize hybrid 4 door sedan. I have narrowed it down to two cars. Toyota Camry and Nissan Altima, both 2007 models. I've been told that both cars are very comparable since Nissan licensed some of the hybrid components from Toyota so therefore the drive train and the hybrid system are almost identical for both cars. However, Toyota dealer told me that Toyota licensed older technology hybrid components than the latest installed in the Camry. Is this true? Which would you buy?
What are the Economics of a Hybrid car? This always comes to mind. If you can buy a car for $20K that gets around 35 miles per gallon, and you can buy a car for $30K that gets 40 miles per gallon, are you really doing the environment a favor? Basically, you have to drive back and forth to work to earn an extra $10K to buy that Hybrid? You have to earn at least 33% more to save 12%.

I'm looking to buy a hybrid car? I'm looking to buy a hybrid car. I have already done a test drive for the Prius and the Honda Civic hybrids (both latest models), and both seem like very nice cars to me. I've done a little research on hybrids, but does anyone have any first hand experience that they could share? Also, does anyone know if one is better than the other? The Prius is supposed to be very good, but the ratings that I've looked at seem to put the Civic right up there with it. Any info would be greatly appreciated!!
Do people still buy hybrid cars or are they done for now? I know they've been having some mechanical problem and lots of hybrids are getting recalled. Are these problems essentially with most of they hybrids, or is they hype of the problem out of proportion? Also, what is the future of hybrid/electrica/non oil based cars?
