This comment doesn't make sense. Most of the hybrids made look exactly like their non-hybrid counterparts (Civic, Fusion, Escape, Tahoe, Lexus LS/GS/RX/HS, Camry, Highlander, etc.) Only exceptions I can think of are the Prius and Insight.

Off topic kind off...they might save gas, but you will have to replace their batteries eventually right? so that might throw all the saving out the window

Im goin off topic in my own thread but i agree. The money u save on gas goes toward maintenance. It's very expensive especially since technicians need specific training for these cars. PPL don't get that though all they think about is "50+ MPG OMG! And i'm helping the environment." These cars, u keep them til the warranty ends and trade in. They are not keepers.

Not necessarily... my father has a first generation Prius with a few hundred thousand miles and the original batteries are still fine. With the newer hybrids, the battery technology should be even more reliable.
