alrights guys i didnt know if this would be the best place for this topic (mods move if needed) but i figured you could help me out. I need to wirte a paper for one of my classes that needs to go agianst the normal thinking....i e tv and video games are bad and fast food makes you fat and disprove it with research. Well i choose hybrid cars and i will try and prove that they are not that good, where you guys come in is i need credible material that proves this, i know i read on here somewhere that the plants that make the batteries are actually really harmful to the environment. Well thanks in advance for your help!!!

PS i havent owned an acura in over two years and still i am constently on this site you guys rock!!!

 

start with the cost vs efficiency. Look at lexus and their hybrids, they use hybrid systems for performance rather then improving mpg. Also, their SUV cost almost 6k more in hybrid trim but only gets 3 mpg better highway.
