Like any new technology, hybrid vehicles are an imperfect thing, but i have read that you will save money after driving one for 5 years. If you like to trade in vehicles every few years, it's not the car for you. Give the technology a few years to iron out the kinks.

More importantly, saving money is not always the end all most important issue. If we can't at least slow down global warming, life on this planet as we know it will cease to exist. Hopefully, global warming is not such an abstract concept for everyone anymore. It's here, it's real, and requires immediate action.
