Hot Hybrids

Considering Fuel Efficiency While Car Shopping

By
Relationship Advice Expert April Masini

Q: Dear April Masini,

I'm very excited to be looking for my very first brand new car purchase, but there are a lot of options on the market. Can you highlight some that I might want to consider for interesting reasons? I'd like something really reliable and that will last a long time, but I'd also like it to be cute while making a statement. What do you think?

Sincerely,

Car Shopper 

A:

Dear Car Shopper,
Hot, hotter, hottest -- that's the state of the Hybrid in spite of Honda's hybrid troubles. 

The Prius is the hot new car for pampered teens in pampering parts of the country. Any parents disgusted with MTV's My Sweet Sixteen show, because of its emphasis on materialism, but not ready to give up giving, are providing their teen with a Prius, and high school and college campus parking lots are becoming Toyota hybrid car lot ads without even meaning to do so. 

Soccer moms are slowly but surely switching to hybrids as they continue to do right by their children -- now and in future generations. 

And anyone who's taking a road trip or is a chronic road trip taker will be doing the math and heading to a hybrid dealership as gas prices rise and the open road beckons. 

In addition to families and new drivers, daters can learn a lot about their dates by what they drive. Cars always broadcast a lot about a date before the first dinner and a movie has begun. Hybrid drivers are hip, smart and modern. They're probably experimental and generous in bed, as evidenced by their willingness to try something new that gives back to the environment when it comes to their car. 

How can you go wrong with a hybrid or a hybrid owner?
