Listen to this Green Air Minute:
Hybrid SUV Sales Sputter
by The Green A-TeamThe summer driving season is here and gas is nearly 5 bucks per gallon… so why aren’t hybrids selling?
America’s love/hate relationship with the SUV may have turned love/love had Detroit rolled out hybrid electric cars that actually live up to their promises.
So why haven’t GM and other manufacturers adopted true hybrid standards knowing full well the consumer isn’t willing to pay 20-30 thousand dollars more to save 6 measly miles per gallon in fuel economy?
So while we’re waiting for manufacturers to cut production costs, smaller compact cars are still the better alternative to the larger gas guzzlers.

Don’t they get it? Ugh. When are they bringing back the electric car?

I read similar article also named Hybrid SUV Sales Sputter, and it was completely different. Personally, I agree with you more, because this article makes a little bit more sense for me

Interesting… seems like a logical sounding headline but thank you for your favor of our point of view! We’re lucky to have the diagnosis of the Car Doctor, Ron Ananian, on our side.
