A comical music video about driving hybrid cars to aid the environment-a comical video on a serious matter. Starring-Nate, Liam, Austin, Mark. (See Lyrics Below)

we roll in a hybrid
we are environmentally sound
we roll in a hybrid
when we hit the town
gas and electric
pumpin less junk into the air
bein a service to the atmosphere
we’re aware and we’re sparin the air
we roll in a hybrid

we break the traditions
forget about the emissions
and start the ignition
while the others sit wishin
they were like us cause
we roll in a hybrid

any fool can make his engine rev
but whats really cool is ridin in a PZEV
with our hybrid technology
we get mad props on our MPG
we roll in a hybrid

all the exhaust automobiles spew
were trying to reduce the CO2
so the air is clean, and our skys blue
cause, Mother Nature, IOU
we roll in a hybrid

if guzzlin gas is your predilection
then you’re drivin in the wrong direction
the problem is our oil addiction
hybrids are the treatment for this affliction
we roll in a hybrid

my friends and I, we like to carpool
burnin less fuel on the way to our school
the dudes at the station hardly every see us
cause of the gas mileage of my 06 Prius
we roll in a hybrid

there are many ways we can battle air pollution
and here’s how you can become part of the solution
if you’re lookin for wheels, go and get a hybrid
you’ll see how it appeals, like my homies and I did
we roll in a hybrid

so everybody, please join the fight
against global warming and our oil appetite
we gotta preserve the planet for human habitation
so lets make this country a hybrid nation

2010 BMW X6 Hybrid Spy Video

Wednesday, March 10th, 2010

CHECK OUT THE X6 HYBRID SPY ARTICLE:

http://www.edmunds.com/insideline/do/GeneralFuture/articleId=129486?tid=edmunds.il.futurelanding.latestnews..4.*

First shown as a concept at the 2007 Frankfurt Auto Show, the 2010 BMW X6 Hybrid is now headed for production. Far from a fuel-sipping economy car, this gasoline-electric hybrid is designed to take the edge off fuel costs without giving up much in the way of SUV practicality or performance.

Prototypes spotted in Death Valley reveal few significant styling changes from the recently introduced X6 other than an obvious bulge in the hood. Subsequent photos show a maze of electrical connections beneath the protruding sheet metal. All the extra hardware is necessary to control what’s expected to be a two-mode hybrid system similar to what’s found in GM’s current Tahoe and Escalade hybrid suvs. BMW partnered with GM and Daimler in the development of the system.

The two-mode system essentially combines electric motors with a sophisticated automatic transmission and traditional gasoline engine. It is able to provide pure electric power like a Prius, but most of the time it’s a mix of both gasoline and electric power. A fuel mileage improvement of around 10-15 percent is about all you can expect given the added weight of the hybrid system’s batteries combined with the X6’s already substantial curb weight.

With full production of the V8-powered X6 just now starting to ramp up to full speed, the introduction of the 2010 BMW X6 ActiveHybrid (as BMW calls it) is probably at least a year away. Expect a substantial price bump, one that could put this hybrid BMW’s base price in the $70,000 range. So much for saving money on gas.

Ford Escape Hybrid – Kelley Blue Book’s Review

Sunday, March 7th, 2010

www.kbb.com
While many other crossover SUVs are getting sleeker, more urban exteriors, the Ford Escape Hybrid has received a rugged redesign. The heightened beltline and sculpted hood remind us that the Escape Hybrid may offer great fuel economy, but first and foremost it is an SUV.

Ford’s design team takes its environmentally friendly vision even further by using 100-percent recycled seat materials, and Ford purports that, through a carbon off-set program, it has countered any greenhouse gases created by its production. Add to this SUV-like versatility, cargo room and four-wheel drive, and the Ford Escape Hybrid seems a natural choice for those who like to rough it without roughing-up the planet.

Toyota Camry Hybrid Video Review – Kelley Blue Book

Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010

FOR PRICING & SPECS ON THIS CAR VISIT:

http://www.kbb.com/KBB/NewCars/Toyota_Camry.aspx

Toyota Camry Hybrid. The Toyota Camry Hybrid offers the same roomy interior and sterling reputation as the rest of the Camry line, but in a greener, more eco-friendly package. With fuel economy figures in the mid 30s, the Camry Hybrid is certainly easy on the gas, and can actually operate solely on electric power in stop and go traffic and low-speed around-town jaunts. Bigger than Toyotas other hybrid car, the Prius, the Camry Hybrid not only offers a wider passenger cabin, but also more power and the security of a trunk. With 10 years experience building hybrid cars, one might assume Toyota would have a lock on the market. But stiff competition is always present, and the Camry Hybrid must now do battle with some equally impressive nameplates such as the Ford Fusion Hybrid and Chevrolet Malibu Hybrid.
