#GREENFAIL: Most Hybrid Car Owners Wouldn’t Buy Another One. “Only 35% of hybrid vehicle owners chose to purchase a hybrid again when they returned to the market in 2011, according to auto information company R.L. Polk & Co. If you factor out the super-loyal Toyota Prius buyers, the repurchase rate drops to under 25%.” That’s particularly striking given that 2011 was a year of high gas prices, if not as high as 2012 so far . . . .
And, in case you’re wondering, I still like my hybrid.
