American Hybrids.


If you are in the market for a green car but are too eager to wait for the new electric vehicles to hit the market, see if you can find one at Used Cars Sarasota.  There are lots of hybrid models available that have excellent fuel efficiency.  Buyers that prefer something newer can go to their local VW Dealer.  If you don't see a hybrid model there that you like, remember that the diesel engine options they offer have low emissions as the diesel burns clean.  Plus, they typically have the Volkswagen turbocharged engine, which is sporty and fun to drive! 

The popular hybrid may still be the Prius from Toyota Los Angeles, but American auto makers are stepping up their hybrid game.  While Ford may have offered other hybrid models in past years, currently there are hybrid versions of the Ford Fusion and the Ford Escape.  With a starting price of only $28,100, the Fusion Hybrid offers drivers great fuel economy in an attractive vehicles.  The Ford Escape starts out at $29,865 and is still SUV capable.  Lincoln is offering the 2011 Lincoln MKZ Hybrid at the same price as the regular gasoline engine model.  So for only $34,330 drivers will have luxury and 41 mpg city!  Mercury offers their Milan and Mariner in hybrid versions as well as regular engine options.  That is impressive for a company with only four vehicles in their entire line up!

General Motors offers a wide array of hybrid options to choose from.  There is the Cadillac Escalade, but the starting price of $73,425 makes this hard for many people to afford.  The Chevy Tahoe Hybrid is a bit more affordable, with a starting price of $50,720.  GM is proud to have the two hybrid full size truck models in their inventory.  The GMC Sierra and Chevrolet Silverado are both available in a hybrid form, while their full size truck cousins from other companies have yet to follow suit.  GMC has their full size SUV in hybrid form; the Yukon and Yukon Denali both have hybrid counterparts.  Keep in mind when you are looking at the larger hybrid vehicles that the fuel mileage won't be drastically improved like you see with the smaller cars.
