One of the major drawbacks many people feel about hybrid cars is the lack of good looks. For many people, if it doesn't look like a Camaro or other muscle car, well it's not a car worth driving, no matter how "green" or earth friendly it is.

The sole driving force in performance hybrids at the moment goes to Lexus and the company has done a truly excellent job promoting both the full capabilities of their hybrid vehicles standard fuel performance along with the touting the electrical side and showing you really can have power in a great looking car.

The success of this hybrid line hasn't gone unnoticed by another auto maker and according to a small mention in an article of "The Car Connection"; there is a grand possibility that the dual mode hybrid style (fuel/electric) is being considered for a high end Camaro design. If this is indeed the case, this would mean you get the classic style of a Camaro along with the high performance of a new generation hybrid.

With ever rising fuel prices, economy in a vehicle's design is a bigger deal than ever and the creating a V8 hybrid vehicle such as a Pontiac G8 and the Camaro may result in a hybrid that costs a little more but for anyone that considers a muscle car just slightly better than any other kind, the auto makers may finally have a hybrid that breaks the market wide open.

Which is another point, right now hybrids aren't the cheapest vehicles to purchase outright. However a lease is a very smart economical option for most people . You can find out for free if a lease for a hybrid is the way for you to go and get a hybrid of your own.

The rumor is that the new hybrid Camaro will make its debut in 2009; but one thing is certain, with the fuel pricing skyrocketing with no signs of slowing down - consumers will be hammering the auto makers for fuel efficient vehicles that look good. Honda and Toyota already have good hybrids on the market and other auto makers are jumping on board with their own designs which will create a healthy competition. This will enable the hybrid market to really become mainstream and everyone to reap the benefits of owning a hybrid vehicle.
