2008 Toyota Prius Touring

Oct 03 2008

Whatever your political or environmental leanings may be, the Prius is fun to drive, and if you write off the Prius due to any affiliations you have, you’re missing out.


2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid

Sep 02 2008

2009 Toyota Camry Hybrid

You know how on TV the future is all shiny and bright? Everything is white and silver and clean, and everything is powered by some mysterious force that makes virtually no noise, yet creates boundless energy? Well, folks, apparently the future is here.


2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid

Jun 30 2008

2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid

I’m a sucker for fuel-efficient, moderately-sized-yet-totally-spacious, attractive-looking cars. The 2008 Toyota Highlander Hybrid delivers on all fronts. That’s a good thing, because with high gas prices, a budget to stick to, a family, and lots of accessories, I need all the vehicular help I can get.


2008 Chevrolet Malibu

May 30 2008

Chevy Malibu Hybrid

I used to think of hybrid vehicles in a “Jetsons” sort of way. By now, my hybrid IQ has grown so much I can tell you why the Chevy Malibu Hybrid isn’t exactly what most people think of when they imagine a hybrid car.


2009 Ford Escape

May 21 2008

2009 Ford Escape Hybrid

I have the Best. Job. Ever. Today my work schedule included the following: Drive Ford Escape Hybrid and Ford Escape V-6, have lunch on the beach, head over to the “American Idol” finals with Ford. Man, I’m tired.


2008 Ford Escape Hybrid

Aug 21 2007

2008 Ford Escape Hybrid

The thing I remember most about my grandma was her sofa: Gold velour with a hateful green and blue floral pattern on it, made even worse by the fact that the entire thing was covered in plastic. Well, driving the Escape Hybrid was much like trying to Flintstone Grandma’s plastic sofa up to speed on the highway.


2007 Saturn Vue

Jan 31 2007

My kids sit comfortably in the Saturn Vue Green Line. Surprisingly, the backseat has quite a bit of legroom for my teenager, even when he is sitting between two booster seats. The only concern from the gallery of eco-freaks in the back (did I just say that out loud?) is the fact that the seat belts are difficult to buckle one-handed.


2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid

Nov 21 2006

I guess I’ll stick with my own small heroic gestures. Like actually moving all the chairs out of the way when I vacuum under the table or completely sorting all the laundry before I wash it. I’ll make do with waving at people when they let me in while driving in traffic, and I’ll use my blinker every time. I am more and more convinced every day that I should make the next car I buy a hybrid.


2006 Honda Civic Hybrid

Jan 16 2006

Shrinking forests, global warming, melting ice caps, polluted oceans…yikes! Pregnant mommies can’t even eat fish in good conscience anymore, and coupled with all the other “don’t eat items,” why not just hand moms-to-be, a bucket of pills in lieu of food altogether.


2006 Lexus RX 400h

Jun 22 2005

To Do: Finish dishes, fold laundry, fuel car, grocery shop, bank deposit, ballet recital, fuel car again, play group; deposit more money so I can FUEL THE CAR AGAIN! Listen up fellow moms, I’ve found a revolutionary way to cut down on our “To Do” lists while helping us manage our budgeted fuel costs. Check out the 2006 Lexus RX 400h (“h” for hybrid).
