Used Toyota Priuses selling for more than a new one!

hehe looks like americans are starting to feel the pinch of rising fuel prices...

the statement that 77 percent of buyers will strongly consider a more fuel-efficient vehicle if gas prices reach $3 per gallon is interesting. if the trend in gas prices continue, i wonder if the trend towards SUVs and larger engines will start to reverse in north america (like the small-car craze of the 70's all over again?)

The way its going, the hybrid vehicles will definitely have a niche market. The price of entry, however, is staggering.

sales of large SUVs have already plumetted (really!!) and still going down.

over 1 million pesos per unit for the Prius? I'm sure sold out iyan.

i don't think it's necessarily the fuel savings...it's more like these stupid celebrities somehow making environmental-consciousness the latest fad (meanwhile their second cars are lamborghinis and hummers and they fly on private jets, etc. etc.) so now everyone has to be like cameron diaz or leonardo dicaprio or whatever hypocrite celebrity gets tabloid space these days.

that's just my opinion though

There's always a silver lining in every cloud.

No stir. Toyota Philippines is selling the Prius locally?

Nissan will be using Toyota's Hybrid system and will be installed on Altimas primarily.

In Autoweek, some manufacturers claimed that they started prototyping a Diesel engine for cars. Meron na ulit ang MB nito di ba?

The best alternative to lessen the monthly operating expenses for a car is not to make any monthly payments on that car. Monthly car payments ang lalong nagpapalaki sa operating costs ng car kasi.
