From the latest Prius to the new Highlander - tested
& rated, Adfunk style.


Five years ago, the first hybrid gas-electric vehicles
hit the market, generating a lot of hype but not many
sales. The faux futuristic designs, tight quarters,
and sluggish performance of Honda's Insight and
Toyota's original Prius were all about self-denial.
Perfect for limousine liberals looking to downsize,
but hardly cars for the suburban masses. And certainly
nothing for Detroit to worry about.

It turns out there were a few good ideas under those
hoods. Hybrid power trains run quieter, belch less
exhaust, and can produce more torque than traditional
engines - and, of course, they're more fuel efficient.
There are now a fleet of hybrids on the market, from
compacts to sedans to SUVs and pickups. Unlike their
predecessors, members of the new breed have the
features, pep, and polish of their pure-gas cousins.

To see if today's green machines have become
contenders, we drove them down city streets, up
freeway on-ramps, and along the tight twists of a
mountain road. We judged the cars on acceleration,
maneuverability, comfort, features, and esthetics.
And, of course, fuel efficiency - though it's worth
noting they all get 10 to 40 percent fewer miles per
gallon than their stickers boast, depending on how you
drive. In the end we found some sweet rides - and a
few duds. And while none are bargains given the
roughly $3,000 premium you'll pay over a comparable
gas-only model, they deliver the satisfaction of
knowing you're doing your part to cut pollution and
oil imports.
