Hybrids are no where near worth the money right now. Not for us anyways. It maybe ok for those who dont have money issues and want to be environmentally active. You can get a 4 cylinder ford escape for 20,000. Now a Hybrid escape starts at 29,000 bare minumum. Now 5 yrs 6 yrs is the usual average before cars are updated and people trade them in. Now do you think in Five years you will spend 9 - 10,000 dollars on fuel. Honda and Toyota are the only companies that have hybrids decently prices starting at 21 and 22,000. My Chevy Cobalt SS was 22,000. Those maybe be worth getting because there equal to alot of cars being sold in there class. But a base honda starts at 15,000 so again will you be spending that difference in price in gas over the 5 yr period. The only time Hybrids will ever be worth getting are when the prices are only 2000.00 over the base model that it is base on. Thats how I feel about hybrids. The Tahoe hybrids are starting at 55,000 and have a mark up on them by dealers its just rediculous.
