Then there is the guy at Shaganappi who wanted me to think Hybrid because he gets 100 km more in a Hybrid than he does in a normal Malibu. The Hybrid costs what, $10k more? (I'm not sure), sorry but it isn't worth it.
And for the record, in the long run a Hybrid is more wasteful to the environment than a normal car is. Where do they get the batteries for the car from?

Bingo, even disposing of those batteries is far more harmful and that goes for electric cars in general as well. Until there is a totally green energy source there is no point in having electric cars. Where do people think the energy is coming from when they plug in at night? The coal fired generator 100 miles away.
As far as the mileage thing goes as well, that should be thrown out the window. What its supposed to get is one thing but it is no where close when you actually drive the car for a while. Our 2010 matrix gets almost 10mpg less then its supposed to get according to the dealer.
