Is a Hybrid Car in Your Future?

Hybrid vehicles have suddenly turned hot. Rising gas prices combined with concerns about the environment have created a revived interest in gas-electric hybrid cars, trucks, and SUVs. New Federal tax incentives in 2006 have also helped cause automotive consumers to take notice.

When Toyota introduced the Prius in 2000, it was the only choice. It was expensive, performed poorly, unattractive, and used unproven technology. However, new hybrids from Toyota, Honda, Lexus, Chevrolet, and Ford represent major advances.

Prices have come down significantly, making hybrids not only affordable, but easy to justify when savings in fuel cost are considered. New hybrids are stylish and are often difficult to distinguish from their non-hybrid siblings. The new 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid has all the great looks and features of the best-selling non-hybrid Camry.
