Unwrap a hybrid car instead of that Jaguar

December is big month for luxury car dealers, as almost half of the luxury cars sold this month end up as gifts.

But instead of unwrapping a Jaguar this year, why not unwrap a hybrid car, such as the Honda Accord Hybrid or Toyota Prius, rather than some elitist hunk of superior waste.

Not good enough for you?

Put down an order for the Lexus RX 400h hybrid SUV. That's right, a hybrid SUV, and if you really need one right now, you can pick up a Ford Escape hybrid in the short term, and donate it to charity when the Lexus arrives.

And next year, you might be able to buy one of the first Lexus GS Hybrid sedans, if a luxury sedan is your requirement. Then you can still be pompous, but at least not an ass.
