Possible Reasons For Anti-Hybrid Articles
- Aversion to the unfamiliar
- Writers that use performance cars as the benchmark
- Bad research, repeating what others have said without investigating
- See hybrids as a threat to Detroit
- Some writers seeing hybrids as a threat to larger vehicles (this writer has a minivan), even though the FEH and HiHi are hybrids.
- "Red State" person seeing hybrids as an environmental/political statement (i.e. GreenPeace), even though they are driven by people all over the political spectrum
- Ignorance
