A Prius is not a true hybrid, really. The current Prius is, like, 2 percent electric. It's a gasoline car with slightly better mileage.
The car industry has invested a lot in hybrid, but my opinion is electric cars will take over a lot of hybrids quicker than people think now.
What is this, a Hybrid? You guys must be proud of yourselves.
I drive a hybrid. It's a Ford Escape. That's my only car.
This is an important generation for the future of hybrid vehicles. With these models as well as the Ford Escape and the Honda Accord we're starting to see hybrid versions of mainstream vehicles. The auto makers are giving customers a direct choice: to opt for hybrid technology on a given model, or not. Will they pay the premium for the hybrid technology when everything else about the vehicle is the same?
There's nothing inherently lame about electricity. I've got a basement full of power tools that all operate with electricity, and they're manly items. And when you see a great big locomotive hauling a mile of freight cars, that's a hybrid. A lot of people don't understand that.
Automobile efficiency is the ballgame of energy security of the country.

What is the quickest way to reduce our dependence on oil? Embrace hybrid technology.
I definitely love that all these car brands are coming out with hybrid forms of every car that they have. It's very awesome because I think it does make a difference, and it doesn't hurt that you save a lot of money on gas.
I think too often you see parts being taken from one engine to go onto another... That's been too much of a theme over the whole hybrid era, and that must compromise dyno time, that must compromise endurance running, and so on.
Range Rovers are the greenest cars on the road.
The iPad - is that a phone or a computer? If I put it on my wall is it a TV?
We believe that there are many buyers who want a stylish, sporty car that sends a positive message about their concern for the environment as they drive it down the street.
I think hybrids are inevitable. The question is not the technology: it's a question of the cost and whether the consumer will pay.
We have been very reluctant to make statements about where the industry is going to go. The Wrangler is going hybrid in 2020. We don't make much noise about that, but it will happen.
