Well, I'm not entirly sure if I'd want a hybrid yet. Three years from now there will be more compelling evidence that the hybrid technology will be able to last. Right now, I would buy a diesel car... It gets great gas mileage(much better than regular)...like a VW TDI, VW's are cool. Get one when you turn 16....
Cheers

NO! i personally do not believe they can be made safe under certain accident conditions the storage batteries are expensive to replace and present their own recycling problems, the high voltages involved are a continued concern for fire and rescue personal after an accident and while some will quote to you how the factories have paid for so much training no one in my rural community has had any. . the stooges who believe that the engineers who have designed these systems have created a fail-safe design need to take the Titanic, Hindenburg, Space Shuttle , etc.disasters into consideration

Yes I would. They are MUCH more expensive than normal cars. The maintenance alone costs three times what the maintenance on a regular car costs. You really don't save a dime, even if the car is a bit more fuel efficient.
However, I do feel that I need to do my part for the environment. Also, I have had the pleasure of driving a Toyota Prius on numerous occasions (company car!). It handled better than anything I've driven. It had just as much power and accelleration as anything I've ever driven. It was a pleasure to drive.

today, no. better for the environment? maybe, but not when the banks of batteries are tossed into a landfill somewhere. no, there needs to be more than just a few MPG improvement before i'd sell my current car and buy a more expensive hybrid. but...when that scientific breakthrough comes, count me in.

No. The cost of the car won't be made up in savings for a long time. I'd rather get a flex fuel car that can run on E-85

Hybrids are only a "feel good" car. There is no such thing as free energy.....it's just energy from a different source, but it still damages the environment.

not yet. Unless you travel very long distances, the economics dont stack up. This may change in the future as the oil price keps going up

Those cars are better for the environment. So, yes.
