Hybrid Car Review

NADAGuides published the list of most researched hybrids from their website during the month of July. Not surprisingly, considering the sales figures for hybrid cars, the Toyota Prius tops the list.

1. 2007 Toyota Prius
2. 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid
3. 2007 Nissan Altima Hybrid
4. 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid
5. 2007 Toyota Highlander Hybrid
6. 2007 Honda Accord Hybrid
7. 2007 Saturn VUE
8. 2007 Lexus RX 400h
9. 2007 Ford Escape
10. 2008 Ford Escape

It's also not surprising to see the Civic Hybrid and Altima Hybrid rounding out the top three. Given the limited availability of the Altima, being popular during the research phase of a potential buyers cycle really doesn't do much good for Nissan.

I am surprised to see the Escape so low on the list. I wonder if its because of the recent release of the 2008 Ford Escape. Notice how the 2007 model and the 2008 model are both on the list.

NADAGuides also released their list of most read reviews for hybrid vehicles:

1. 2007 Toyota Prius
2. 2007 Toyota Camry Hybrid
3. 2007 Honda Civic Hybrid
4. 2007 Toyota Highlander Hybrid
5. 2007 Saturn VUE
6. 2007 Lexus RX 400h
7. 2007 Ford Escape
8. 2008 Ford Escape
9. 2007 Mercury Mariner
10. 2007 Honda Accord Hybrid
