According to Consumer
Reports the Saturn Vue hybrid offers the quickest
payback of any hybrid when compared with similar
non-hybrids. Still, first place depends on which
Toyota non-hybrid you would compare the Toyota Prius -
either the Corolla or the Camry. If compared to the
Corolla, the Prius came in fifth. If compared to the
Camry, the Prius is easily first. Similarly, Consumer
Reports only tested the 4wd version of the Ford Escape
hybrid.
Here's the list of the hybrid
vehicles in order: Saturn
Vue hybrid, Toyota
Camry hybrid, Chevy
Tahoe hybrid, Ford
Escape hybrid, Toyota
Prius, Chevy
Malibu hybrid, Nissan
Altima hybrid, Saturn
Aura hybrid, Honda
Civic hybrid, Toyota
Highlander hybrid, Lexus
RX400h hybrid and the Lexus
450h hybrid.
Now, I could come up with a number of questions about
these findings but, they are what they are, so I'll
leave it at that. Still, the results do seem to
indicate that, minimally, all cars should be mild
hybrid cars. With such results, why isn't GM selling
100,000 mild hybrids per year?
