I read an interesting article the other day titled "Why I don't drive a Hybrid Car" written by an author who writes car reviews for the New York Times. The author is Jim Motavalli and he is also the editor of E/ The Environmental Magazine, and he goes on to state that he does NOT drive a hybrid car but in fact drives a Honda Fit, a good 'ol gasoline powered vehicle. Jim's logic is that his Honda Fit is much 'greener' than many luxury hybrids, especially the SUV hybrids. It is true that the Honda Fit ranks higher on the green scale than a Ford Escape Hybrid, and that the word Hybrid does not mean does not mean the car is green, but I think Jim's thinking is a little off, even if his heart is in the right place.

  • hybrid
