Default Re: CNBC- Price for Hybrids is up, way up in some

I wonder what the "break even" time frame is on a Chevy Corvette? Or what about on a BMW Z5?

The folks at Edmunds just can't get it into their brains that some of us are as much motivated to buy a hybrid because of the latest technology as by the fuel efficiency's dollar value.
There's no difference between a Geek who's turned on by tech and a sports car freak who's turned on by a big motor and a racy looking chassis or a wealthy Don Trump type who's turned on by a Bentley.

The concept that for some of us a "lowly" Prius has emotional appeal seems totally lost on the numbskulls at Edmunds. But even worse, the people at Edmunds still persist in even getting the facts wrong about hybrid technology. And yet they bill themselves as "car people"; what a joke!
