First off I don't do top 10 lists. For one thing they are over done and secondly we are in 2008. So without further ado here are the Top 8 reasons you should buy a hybid vehicle:
1) Save Gas Duh!- Depending on what hybrid you choose you will be reducing the amount of gasoline you are consuming which will have a trickle down effect and help in so many ways.
2) Less Pollution - Hybrids greatly reduce emissions by up to 90% and will thus reduce the smog problem that is gripping many cities across the globe.
3) Reduce our Dependence on the Middle East - by reducing our need for oil we are thereby lowering the trade deficit and creating more American jobs. You will also be reducing money that goes to countries that support terrorism.
4) Savings - not only will you be saving gas money, Hybrid cars resale value is extremely high. The Toyota Prius is even 10% cheaper to insure.
5) The Perks! - Ah yes you want park close to buildings, cruise in HOV lanes and go across bridges for free.
6) Fund Future Development - by investing early you are helping fund development of future hybrid technology which will help drive down prices and help manufacturers produce cheaper hybrid cars faster.
7) Halo Effect - by buying a hybrid it forces other car makers to up their fuel efficiency.
8) Look Cool - not too long ago small cars were laughed at. Now thanks to celebs such as Jessica Alba (pictured above) and eco saavy consumers hybrids are the new cool car. So ditch that Toyota Land Cruiser, Cadillac Escalade and Lincoln Navigator and get a cool Hybrid and the ladies will be all over you.
