I agree with the "Country Club" wise-crack. Hybrids don't save money. Maybe they save gas.
Think about this: my RX330 reports an average of 24mpg. It will be driven about 15k miles per year. That's 625 gallons of gas. At $2/gal regular, it's about $1,250/yr for gas. Assuming you drive your car for 10years, that's about $12,500. So what if a hybrid will cut gas consumption to 50%. That's still $6,250 in gas saved. Now consider this: hybrids are going at a premium above asking. You've already blown the gas savings at that point. When it's time to replace the batteries, you're further into negative territory.
If money were not an object, I would buy the RX400h too. It's a cool car. But I still know I'm not saving money. If gas hits $5/gal within the next 10 years, then I'll concede to the 'saving gas' argument.
I want the 400h so I can laugh every time I am sitting in slow bumper to bumper traffic with my engine off and my electric motors hummin.
man, everytime i read this thread, I can't wait for those hybrids to go on the bigger suvs! lol ;)
