Quick and Easy Guide to Hybrid Cars
Why people want to drive hybrid cars? "We only have one planet," said actor Kevin Bacon to the question why he was driving the Toyota Prius hybrid. "We have to protect this one."
Besides being environmentally friendly, these cars are fun to drive too.
And for us Google fans, the reason to drive one might be because Larry Page and Sergey Brin - the founders of Google - drive a Toyota Prius.
More and more people are buying hybrids instead of traditional cars, reducing the average costs of producing a hybrid car, making hybrids more affordable.
Moreover, as hybrids deliver the best miles-per-gallon, they are very friendly on your wallet once you've purchased a hybrid vehicle.
The Impact of Hybrid Cars on the Automotive Industry
Hybrid market has been estimated to increase to some 3 million cars year within a decade and some, such as Toyota, expect to sell 1 million a year by themselves within a shorter period of time.
The trend is clear. In time, almost all cars will be hybrids.
Toyota's director of research and development, Kazuo Okatmoto, sees that transition time from between 20 to 40 years.
However, you don't need to wait that long to get all the benefits of owning a hybrid car, as there are many models available to choose from.
Popular hybrid cars include Toyota Prius (Motor Trend magazine's car of the year for 2004), Honda Accord Hybrid, and Ford Hybrid Escape.
