The growing hybrid
market
Aside from the Escape hybrid and Honda's Accord and
Civic hybrids, several other new hybrids are also
hitting the market. GM will be selling a few Chevy
Silverados and GMC
Sierras in selected markets - though both cars are
only mild hybrids.
Toyota, the current leader in hybrid technology with its
popular, Prius
hybrid car, will be offering two new hybrid SUV's in
the next couple of months. The Lexus
RX400h and the Toyota
Highlander are supposed to be hitting the markets
soon.
