Hybrid Vehicle Sales . . . What Happened?

Hybrid logo As the following article from Automotive News shows, U.S. sales of Hybrid Vehicles actually fell 9.9% in calendar year 2008 vs. calendar year 2007.  With all the hype about fuel economy, high fuel prices and 'going green', how is this possible??? Obviously one factor is the overall economy.  As the financial crisis took its grip on our economy in the second half of 2008, sales of all vehicles fell dramatically.  Another factor was the dramatic fall in gasoline prices at the pump.  The irony of lower fuel prices is that the economics of paying a premium for a hybrid vehicle begin to disappear.  And the final factor simply became affordability.  As consumers in Connecticut and all over <--break->the U.S. found themselves looking to save money any way they could, the prices of many hybrid models were just too high to justify.

We would like to thank all of you who participated in the Toys For Tots 2008 toy drive. For the record, we collected 9 pickup truck loads worth of toys that were distributed to kids in need in the Fairfield county area during this past Christmas season. The pictures speak for themselves and we'd like to thank everyone for their generosity!
