When I was home for Thanksgiving, mom mentioned that it's about time to put the old Sable out to pasture. I asked what she was looking for as an alternative, she said she liked the comfort of a sedan, and wants something green, no suvs.
She's open to the idea of a hybrid, but would want to check them out first. She likes owning a Ford, but they're kinda light on green offerings. The only hybrid they offer is the Escape, which is an suv. I'm not sure how owners like them, but the few reviews I've seen mention decent mileage but complain about a lack of power.
As far as sedan hybrids, the Camry is a good one...GM offers a couple hybrid sedans, but their mileage is only 1 mpg over the same non-hybrid models, so little point in one of them.
There are green alternatives that don't require hybrid tech to deliver on low emissions and decent mileage...not to plug Honda, but the Accord comes to mind, along with other sedans like that. Most cars in the class offer good room, are comfy, and the 4 cylinder models get very good mileage.
So, it's off to the dealers for some brochures...
