I could care less how fast they are, we all know hybrids are slow. This is for the gas-conservative individuals. plain and simple how much mpg would a hybrid have to offer for you to consider buying it.

honestly, id rock one with the gas milage they get now, if they wern't so fucking ugly.

I mean seriously? 4dr civic, escape, prius, and other shitboxes, make them look good and ill think about it.

ALSO, that 20k more, you lose money until you hit the like 300k mile marker at todays gas prices, and thats assumeing theres NO engine problems, which will not happen.

Its really not just about saving money on gas, its made to help preserve and save the atmosphere. Since thats the case, generally more affluent people are the ones to buy them...

There was a study done that proved that the process of manufacturing any hybrid vehicle has a much larger effect on the environment than that of producing a normal vehicle. They said that the "damage" from building a hybrid outweighed what the hybrid would do to "save" the environment over time.

If you search google you can probably find the article. It was probably a year or so ago.

i cant stand people who say, if you dont drive a hybrid, you hate the environment, THAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNKS!
yea i would never buy one unless the choice to buy one became a little more logical. (cheaper, look better, and ACTUALLY helped the environment)
