What Will Your Next Car Be?

A new poll indicates increased interest in hybrids.

   extended warranty We have discussed rising gas prices and related issues several times already this week.  Many people are decreasing the amount they drive their cars and turning to smaller more fuel efficient vehicles. 
    
    Yesterday we looked at the Toyota Prius and discussed hybrid cars.  But how many of you out there will purchase a hybrid vehicle?   A new Gallup poll conducted last month and release earlier this week showed that 57% of those surveyed will consider buying a hybrid when they purchase their next vehicle. 

    Here are some more statistics from the poll.

Those favoring hybrids show little gender or regional differences, but "hybrids appeal much more to younger and middle-aged Americans than to seniors," Gallup reports. Upper-income Americans are slightly more likely than lower-income Americans (62% vs. 55%) to say they would seriously consider buying a hybrid when purchasing their next car.

    This may be somewhat surprising, considering how Americans love their powerful cars.  However, the price of gas coupled with the countless new hybrid models on the horizon may be enough to push drivers in this new direction.
