Celica Forums General Discussion General Hybrids

I'm interested in knowing what people think of Hybrids these days. This is all my opinion, but here are some good/bad points; I'd like people to post their opinions too.

Good points:

1) Fuel mileage (duh!)

2) Torque

3) New hybrids have a lot of power


Bad:

1) Heavier

2) Hard or impossible to mod for performance?


I was watching the news today and saw an article about Toyota's new Highlander hybrid. The AWD version has 270 HP, is a full second faster in the 1/4 mile than the standard gasoline Highlander, and gets 28-30 mpg (it supposedly comes out in April). I think its only a matter of time until a hybrid sports car comes out.

theyre pretty kool, but sound weird and ive yet to see one that looks good. (priuses are fugly)

yea those priuses r

only good thing about them is good gas milage

Toyota's supposed MR2 hybrid:

True, but the Highlander hybrid looks just like the normal one. The Honda Accord hybrid also looks just lika any other Accord.

im not sure if im spelling this right but do you think there gonna release the alesandro volta??

Hybrid sports cars ARE coming out, I have an inside source that told me to wait another year. Its gonna be FAST.

And something made by Toyota

umm heres what im talking about 408 hp gas and electric...

i heard they are gonna make them with so much power that basically they will have the same fuel economy as a regualr gas cars now

Maybe you're right. All hybrids are fugly, but...





shoot me if you want, but I like the Prius... pimped it'd look way better than a pimped -no hybrid- xb...

that Toyota is sick, but there's gonna be ANOTHER one made by Toyota, a Lexus. A NEW Lexus

there will be a new accord hybrid puttin out over 250horses

i almost got a hybrid... till i found out it had 90hp the gas mileage sounded good but there was no way it was makin it up one of these hills around here...
