Prius makes Intellichoice's 2012 list again
February 2, 2012
You know the line. Hybrids just don’t add up. The hybrid premium isn’t made up for decades, long after the car has expired. Blah, blah, blah. Yet, over and over numerous forms of analysis regarding such trivial issues as cost of ownership find a lot of hybrid cars do make sense, financial sense.
The Intellichoice Best Values in 2012, for instance, concluded that 5 of the best 24 values were hybrid-only vehicles.
The Toyota Prius earned the best passenger car nod, while its larger brother earned best crossover/wagon.
Hybrid cars aren’t just for making green statements. Many hybrids are also a smart buy for people that invest in the future.
Whether it's Intellichoice, KBB, Consumer Reports, Kipplingers or Forbes, the Toyota Prius has consistently been a top pick based upon its overall cost of ownership.
Interested in buying a Prius, but you're just not sure its worth the hybrid premium?
Study after study concludes that for average buyers, the hybrid premium isn't a cost for Prius buyers, it's a serious long term fuel saving's investment.
The Prius is about saving money, not losing money just to make a green investment.
