Re: BCAA analysis reveals most hybrid vehicles offer long-term savings
I find it VERY interesting that 2 of the hybrid people complain about not having high enough MPGs, are 2 of them that saved the most $$, the Lexus 400h and the HAH.
I question the Prius because I would like to know what they were comparing it to considering there is no non-hybrid version.

Other than that, nice read.

Look, hybrids are cheap vehicles in terms of total cost of ownership, and they do not pollute very much. The choir here knows this. Most people don't know it yet, but they will in a few more years. If BCAA or consumer reports or some other entity feels that the jury is still out regarding maintenance or depreciation, desn't mean very much to me.
Please understand that I took my best shot at CR, AFTER their retraction, but it bounced right off. At about USD$4/gallon, I expect some media to realize what we have known right along.

BCAA = AAA/CAA auto club for British Columbia
PST = Provincial Sales Tax
GST = Goods and Services Tax (Federal)
PDI = Pre-Delivery Inspection (dealer prep work)
