-I can make it easy. Any Hybrid except Toyota is not a true hybrid as Toyota has rights to their synergy Hybrid drive. Others like the Ford are gas engines that do not save near Toyorta on gas because they have a regular sized engine for that car and an electric boost for torque for lack of better words or when a golf cart takes off it jerks you into seat and that is what thses wannabe hybrids do like when you take off it uses mostly electric and save gas taking off from stop.
They cannot drive in gas or electric as toyota can and cost more then 22900 which Prius does and is sedan size and goes 120 and is 0-60 in 6.9 and gets 52 MPG in city and 48 on highway without fail. The brakes charge the batteries mostly but so does driving. It only has a 1.5 4 cylinder with electric motor in which a car that size would have at least a big 4 or 6 cylinder. The Honda and Chevy make these rediculous tiny cars that look like toys and are gas but get 40 MPG but what happens in accident? Get a Highlander hybrid which is 2 or 3 row SUV with 270 ponies and gets 36 MPG in city and 32 on highway. They are in 2wd about 28,000 and in AWD (This does not mean all wheels turn all the time but that when a front tire slips , a back tire kicks in) about 32,000. No transmission and Great gas from a 3 row SUV. Les then the caddy and after 1 year will be worth the same as caddy will drop first year as always like a rock. Hope this was somewhat helpful.
