Let's ask the hybrid people in about ten years what it cost them to replace those huge batteries! I'll keep my petroleum, thanks!  |
To each his own. Hybrids have horsepower, and more importantly, torque. I asssure you my Hybrid is very real.
Ask me now what it costs to replace the battery. Mine has a 10 year/150,000 mile warranty. After that, it's same boat you are in now. You can buy a new Mercedes engine for $3 or $4k, or pull one from the junk yard for $500.
I'd put my 1.0 liter, 3 cylinder, automatic transmission Hybrid against your Mercedes diesel. Unless you're driving a new CDI or a 98-up E300, I would win every time.
