Feel free to discuss them too...
Who knows you might get your dream car from here....
Let me kick start with....
1. Lexus GS450h (A)
2. 2009 Honda Odyssey 2.4 (A)
3. Audi S4 3.0 (A)
IMHO the Lexus h series, if you really really wanted to save fuel/the earth, you'd get a prius or a civic hybrid, and not buy a Lexus with a 3.5L V6 or a 5L V8 and then suddenly decide you wanted to care about the environment, and tack on an electric motor.
The Audi S4 however, looks fantastic.

You are looking at it the wrong way. What if a rich guy wants to do his part for the environment, but still own a big and comfortable limousine and still be able to show off his ride? You can't possibly ask him to get a Civic Hybrid or a Toyota Prius.
The Lexus LS600hL (for example) is the way to go for him. He can do his part for the environment and at the same time own a big limousine. And compared to many of the limousines out there, his LS600hL might just be the most fuel efficient.

Ok, when you look at it this way, I guess it does make more sense for a rich guy who does not want to forgo his luxury to invest in a hybrid lexus. I guess it's the lesser of two evils, better this than say, a 750i or a S500L. -

so the rich man try to be evilly kind to the environment? lol -
Seen a couple of Lexus LS600hL on the roads before.... Damn big!
But I was thinking, if WHO are giving us the signal to conserve the envionrment, then why hybrid technology are currently offered on luxury cars, with the Prius and Civic Hybrid? All are so expensive..... If they want us to buy hybrid cars...first make them affordable then perhaps we can consider.... I suggest they put those hybrid technology more on mass-market models like Latio, Lancer, Altis or even Chery QQ. I believe their prices won't be so expensive and more people can afford.

Nope, check out the prices of hybrids in like UK or US. Civic Hybrids and Prius Hybrids are affordable there. It's because the government there support you to drive a clean and green car, hence taxes imposed on a hybrid is less than taxes imposed on a normal car.
But the Singapore government ain't willing to give rebates on hybrid and diesel cars yet, hence hybrids are more expensive than their conventional counterparts in Singapore. Otherwise, with more rebates, I bet a Civic Hybrid will cost around the same as a normal Civic.

Yes, hybrid cars may cost less overseas...but I am talking about hybrid cars being sold in Singapore. The fact now is hybrid cars are given rebates, but their rebates aren't too much to be discounted to the extent of having their prices comparable or cheaper to their normal counterparts. Hence, in my point of view, the Prius and Civic Hybrid in Singapore remains expensive.
