[QUOTE="MrFedEx, post: 398734, member: 12508"] There's a great article in the latest Car&Driver by Patrick Bedard. He essentially says that the lower-priced hybrids that get outstanding mileage actually make sense because you can recoup the much-higher initial cost over just a few years. The high-end hybrids sound like a good idea, but you'll never get your money back. As someone else mentioned, however, what are the environmental costs of manufacturing and disposal of high-tech batteries? For now, I wish that more of the high-mileage diesels from Europe could be legalized and imported. An Indian manufacturer is already planning to introduce a diesel-powered small truck next year that gets well over 30 mpg. [/QUOTE]
