I'm still laughing at all of you. I bought a diesel Cayenne - cost less than a hybrid Cayenne and gets just as good of gas mileage - with same amount of emissions. Plus -- those I don't have the expense of replacing batteries and putting those toxic boxes back into the earth.
Hybrids are for demo wannabe feelgoods. At the moment there is better green tech.
Hopefully, the battery tech will get better, but right now -- it is not.
But don't worry hybrid drivers, we're not laughing at you (mmmmmhrmmmpppphhhhh)

Actually, hybrid batteries are not toxic and can be disposed of in a regular landfill. But they are 70-100% recyclable and so hardly anything goes into a landfill.

I did the numbers when we bought my wife's new car a few years ago when gas was pushing $4. She commutes about 20 miles RT and a hybrid made no sense.
