Hybrids rule!

[Az]

Noone is dissing you for getting a hybrid, I am dissing you of getting an SUV. As a wise man told me once, "learn to read".

And I am driving, with the same mileage that you do - but if I could afford a hybrid ( or any new car, for that matter), it wouldn't be an SUV.

My question is why you care if all life is futile yadda yadda yadda like you were saying in the other thread

Oh and hybrids-- Excellent

WE are a Honda Civic plus a minivan family at he moment

SUVs are great for the driver, and bad for everyone else. They are the best illustration of Kant's catagorical imperative.

yes

SUV's = BAD

why?

GAS GUZZLERS

hence

SUV hybrid, good gas mileage = GOOD


WHAT ABOUT THIS DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND????!?!?!?!??!

WE"RE NOT TALKING ABOUT A HUMMER HERE FOLKS

HYBRID SUV GAS MILEAGE = OK
HYBRID CAR GAS MILEAGE = EXCELLENT

OK << EXCELLENT

HYBRID SUV <<< HYBRID CAR

My family is now a 2 hybrid vehicle family. Today I went with my dad and my parents got a 2006 Toyota Highlander Hybrid Limited. w00t! This thing is awesome. And now I can feel morally superior to other SUV drivers!!!

Pff. THIS is a real SUV.

Israeli defence contractors will make a fortune in protective armor packages.

When they start offering pintle mounts on Hummers, I may consider getting one.

I'm not expecting RPG attacks in suburbia.

Except that hybrid SUVs at best get you the same mileage as a regular car. Wow, you just broke even.
28/30 city/highway is what I'm seeing for the hybrid Highlander.
40+ city and highway is what the diesel VWs get.
60/51 for the Prius.
61/66 for the Insight.

I had a Jetta diesel and just got a Prius. Being able to go 400+ miles before filling up is very nice.

It's not very practical if I have to pack my groceries on the outside of the vehicle. Plus, it's not very sporty.

Does it have eight-wheel-drive though?

I make no apologies for my minivan. It gets pretty good mileage . Plus I live in sprawling Canada where a typical drive to the next province is the same distance as crossing 3 countries in much of Europe. Add in that when family visits I have to carry 6 people OFTEN and I make no apology for the van.

The other car is a commuter car and a '98 Civic does just fine for days when I can't bicycle or take transit

My criticism of most SUVS is that they are no more functional than most minivans, are more expensive, usually burn more gas and are purchases simply because it is considered cooler to have a SUV instead of a minivan
